10 Things to do in Hvar, Croatia Travel Guide Video Transcript:
We have finally made it to one of my dream destinations. We're in Hvar, Croatia so and oh my it is beautiful. Today we have blue skies so we're just going to run around like crazy to show you guys Hvar.
As you probably already know, we never start sightseeing without a good meal, so the first item on our list was to find some breakfast. This proved to be a little tricky considering we were visiting during low season, but after a few false starts we settled down at BB Club for shakshuka, omelettes, nutella crepes and cappuccinos.
With bellies full, we were ready explore and our eyes were set on the fortress, which is the focal point when you gaze up from the Old Town.
Reaching the fortress means walking straight uphill, but there are a few scenic stops along the way, including a beautiful park, a seemingly abandoned church, and plenty of lookouts where you can admire the town and the harbour.
After visiting the fort, we came back to the Old Town and decided to go on a little walk along the waterfront. We hadn’t packed any bathing suits and it was too late in the season to go for a swim, but Audrey was set on testing out the turquoise waters.
Continuing our wander through Hvar Town without a particular place or direction in mind, we then came across a medieval Venetian bell tower that we had noticed peeking through the buildings. The bell tower is part of the Ruins of the Dominican Monastery and St. Mark's Church, and while the structure is closed off, it’s still a cool landmark to visit.
We went to KOGO which is located in the main square just footsteps from St. Stephen’s Cathedral. They specialize in pizzas and pastas, and everything was so tasty!
Lastly, to finish up our 1-day tour of Hvar Town, we walked back to the marina, this time heading left in the direction of the Franciscan Monastery, where we were treated to a magical sunset complete with live music.

Hvar, Hrvatska / Хвар, Хорватия
Мы продолжаем путешествовать по чудесной солнечной Хорватии!
Сегодня мы отправляемся в морское путешествие из города Сплит (Split) на остров Хвар (Hvar).
Остров Хваp / Hvar island известен как самый солнечный остров Адриатики (349 солнечных дней в году). Солнце на острове Хвар светит 2718 часов (по сравнению с 2600 часами в среднем по Адриатике).
Множество достопримечательностей, красивая природа и мягкий климат делают остров Хвар привлекательным курортом.
На Хваре в большом количестве выращивается лаванда, которая стала своеобразным символом острова и самым популярным сувениром из Хорватии.
Остров Хвар — самый длинный (68 км) остров хорватской прибрежной зоны – славится своим прекрасным климатом. Хвар – остров винограда, маслин, лаванды и многочисленных родников. Здесь был найден самый древний в Европе барельеф с изображением корабля.
На острове Хвар находится и самый старый в Европе общественный театр, построенный в 1612 году на одной из площадей города, Кафедральный собор выстроенный в стиле ренессанс с оригинальной колокольней, богатой ризницей и картинами старых мастеров.
Старый город Хвара был основан в 385 году до н.э. в качестве греческой колонии Фарос. Он расположился на дне впадины длиной 6 км. Здесь можно увидеть греческие стены, дворец-крепость поэта эпохи ренессанса Петра Гекторовича с прудом и арками.
Мягкий климат, разнообразие многочисленных бухт, буйная субтропическая растительность делают остров Хвар одним из самых красивых мест для отдыха и развлечений. Из-за этого Хвар получил название «хорватская Мадейра».
На Хвар лучше приезжать в мае-июне, когда цветут нежно-фиолетовая лаванда и бело-красно-розовые олеандры. Кроме того, в это время меньше туристов, а цены ниже.
При входе в гавань открывается уникальный вид – плодородный холм, на вершине которого замок с башнями, поднимающимися над великолепным городом Хваром с красивыми дворцами, которые являются богатым культурным наследием острова.
Особенно красивы на Хваре – театр, один из старейших в Европе, Cобор Святого Стефана, башня с часами и здание бывшего арсенала. Этот живописный и яркий город, с узкими улицами и площадями, полными жизни, занимает отдельное место и в литературном наследии Хорватии.
Главной достопримечательностью города является Кафедральный Cобор Святого Степана (16 век) с колокольней (17 века). В соборе находится работа известного скульптора Юрая Далматинца “Бичевание”. Эта скульптура – авторская копия с барельефа из алтаря Кафедрального собора Сплита. Для просмотра выставлены старинные картины и предметы культа.
Перед собором на площади стоит Городской колодец (1520 года). Снабжение пресной водой затруднено, поэтому к колодцам на острове относятся с почтением.
