This island, which is one of<span>\u00a0<\/span><strong>Croatia\u2019s<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>Dalmatian Islands, has an air of the<span>\u00a0<\/span><strong>Rivieria<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>about it. Located between Split and Dubrovnik, its Venetian-era port regularly attracts a whole host of yachts to its bay. It is one of Europe\u2019s, and even the world\u2019s, most beautiful islands. Its small port dates from the<span>\u00a0<\/span><strong>Renaissance<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>and is home to some stunning coves which bring out the explorer in everyone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our favourites? Pokonji Dol Beach and Mlini Beach.<span>\u00a0<\/span><strong>Hvar<\/strong>, is also a destination where nature is both breathtaking and unspoilt. The subtle fragrance from the lavender fields wafts here and there all over the island, whilst few can resist exploring the Red Rocks natural cave near \u0160panjol Fortress.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u201d1_2\u2033 _builder_version=\u201d4.16\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d
