Croatia, Island of Hvar from £166pp inc. flights -- save up to 31%| Flights included · via Voyage Prive |
|
Welcome to Hvar, a Croatian island that can celebrate its illustrative history while looking firmly in the future. This island is part of the central Dalmatian archipelago situated in a picturesque natural setting.
Just 10km from Hvar town, you will find one of the most beautiful townlets on the island, founded in the 15th century. Owing to several old bridges that connect the two sides of its bay, Vrboska is often referred to as Little Venice. With the imposing architectural site of the fort-church of “St. Mary of Mercy", and the cultural Fisherman's Museum, the peaceful town of Vrboska is more than just a beachside destination.
Visit Hvar Town, the centre of the island and a close drive from your hotel. Wander through 13th-century walls and pass Gothic palaces interspersed with popular clubs and more modern architecture. The beautiful waves of the Adriatic sea hit the shore and golden beaches border this enchanting land.
Hvar attracts and accommodates for all types, which is part of its appeal. Part playground for the rich and famous, part haven for nature lovers, part culture-vulture's dream destination, there is something for everyone on this beautiful island. |

4* Croatia -- Adriatic Coast from £191pp inc. flights| Flights included · via Voyage Prive |
|
Makarska is a centre of culture, education, and tourism within Croatia. As a city of more than 15 thousand people, it encompasses picturesque villages at the foot of the Biokovo Mountain, including Veliko Brdo, Puharići, Kotišina and Makar.
Makarska is one of the most famous tourist destinations on the Croatian coast, attractive for its nature and good climate, rich in attractions and full of hospitable hosts.
Makarska itself is built around a deep sheltered bay, and backed by the dramatic rocky heights of Mount Biokovo, which acts as a buffer from the harsher inland climate. Biokovo’s sea-facing slopes are criss-crossed by well-marked trails, so besides swimming in the deep turquoise Adriatic, it is possible to get in some hiking or mountain biking too.
