Geography

More than 30 years ago, the British author J.A. Cuddon described Hvar's mix of craggy heights, crystal clear waters and ancient stone settlements as "idyllic but never monotonous". Undeniably one of the true treasures of the Dalmatian coast, Hvar is adorned with azure waters, rocky coastline, pebble beaches, and hills covered in pinewood and Mediterranean foliage.
