The last stop on our tour is the island of Hvar. It needs no introduction given the fact that it is one of the most famous tourist destinations in the world. You will have approx. 2h of free time in the city of Hvar, more than enough time to have a meal there. Also, our skipper will pay attention that you have enough free time both for sightseeing and having lunch/dinner in Hvar town. When it comes to sightseeing, we can mention a few locations not to miss: The fortress on top of the hill above Hvar, Main Square, St. Stephen’s Cathedral…

Pakleni Islands are actually a set of islands located in front of the town of Hvar, famous for its beauty. The islands are not inhabited during the whole year and every single one of them has something different to offer – from bars and restaurants to beaches and scents of pines and local herbs. And yes, we cannot just ignore it: the actual correct name of this set of islands is PAKLINSKI Islands. It was named after Paklina, a black resin characteristic for the type of pines growing on the islands which were used in shipbuilding. Pakleni Islands is the last stop of the tour but on your way back to Split you will have the chance to experience one of the most beautiful sunsets. The perfect ending to a perfect day.
