Hvar
For its glamorous nightclubs frequented by many yachtsmen and famous celebrities, such as Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Beyonce, the city of Hvar has become a capital city of good fun which attracts young people (and those who feel young) from all corners of the world to a scenic bay to the west of the island. But this town is so much more than that. It will welcome you with the oldest theatre in Europe, enticing venetian palaces, the formidable Fortica Fortress, and a fantastic gourmet scene, while the surroundings are speckled with many islands and beaches that will invite you like sirens to bathe in their turquoise waters.

Insider’s tip: You do not necessarily have to like the hubbub to find your corner of heaven in Hvar. You only have to enter a bit deeper in the city alleys and give yourself up to the warm hug of everyday life of ordinary people (walking under clotheslines of colourful clothes or be accompanied by a clang of plates and humming voices from open windows...) .
