In the Med #3 - Hvar
Friday, 6th May 2016PlainSailing.com offer yacht charters from seven charter destinations in Greece, and five in Croatia.
Hvar
Charter from: Split, Kastela, Trogir (via plainsailing.com)
Hvar is probably a name you have already heard of, but never considered where it is. A decade back it grew in fame as something of an Ibiza-type party town – which is surprising given it is on an island away from the Croatian mainland, and, without its own airport, it is not the easiest place to get to. Though, that gives you an idea of just how good a party venue it must’ve been!
The town is watched over by Hvar castle, which is a 10-15 minute uphill walk, which can be tiring (particularly in the heat), but absolutely worth it: the views from the top are spectacular – and even more so if you are a sailing enthusiast, as you overlook the busy but delightful harbour, as well as being able to see yachts sailing by.
Hvar is an easy day-or-so sail from the key marina’s of Trogir, Split and Kastela. It was a favourite on our trip because it’s a cute town, has great bars and nightlife, and the view from the castle is something else.
