The town of Hvar
is the largest settlement on the island of Hvar. The seven century-old walls,
with fortifications towering above them, keep watch over Hvar as they slope down
toward the town and its Venetian loggia. From whatever direction one arrives in
Hvar, the town immediately reveals itself as a monument of art. But it is not
only the monuments which make Hvar what it is. It is also its harbour to the sea
and the facing Pakleni otoci (Resin Islands), its unique healthful climate and
its beaches and restaurants, which for almost a century and a half have been
shining with the luster of a fashionable tourist resort. One has only to come to
Hvar to be convinced. |
