There are so many fun things to do in Hvar, Croatia! Hvar is one of the most popular islands to visit in Croatia, and for good reason. In fact, lots of travelers visit Hvar as their one and only Croatian island.
Hvar has long had a reputation is the party island. And yes, there’s truth to that. The best nightlife in the Adriatic can be found here, especially in exclusive clubs like Carpe Diem Beach. Indeed, if you find a celebrity in Croatia, they will probably be hovering off the coast of Hvar on a yacht!
But Hvar is far more than parties and famous people. Hvar happens to be the sunniest island in Croatia, with 2800 hours of sunshine each year. Hvar is covered with pine forests and olive trees, and local vineyards make an incredible selection of Hvar wines.
