The island of Hvar has five towns, all on the coast, and each offers a unique flavour, history and atmosphere.  From the relatively sleepy eastern gateway port of Sucuraj to the celebrity party of Hvar Town in season, there is something for everyone.

Stari Grad, the former capital, has an exquisite old town dating back 24 centuries, while Vrbosska's pretty canal has earned it the nickname 'Little Venice'.  Close by is the picturesque harbour town of Jelsa with its cosy main square.  Whether you are looking for nightlife, history, culture, relaxation or straight fine dining, come and explore the towns of Hvar.
