Hvar - (Kroation)

The island of Hvar is the queen of the Croatian Dalmatian islands. It has been famous since the antique because of its important strategic and nautical position, the rich of the various historical periods, the culture and natural monuments and the literature. While separation from the mainland can sometimes be a handicap, it also provides some protection from the factory chimneys and other misfortunes which come with civilisation. Instead, there are vast fields oflavender, ancient olive trees and vineyards, in immaculate harmony between man and nature. 
Through the centuries, an oasis of culture has remained here, a testimony to the identity. 
Hvar displays with pride the oldest municipal theatre in Europe. Hvar has been built through time by notable domestic and foreign architects. Hvar has been celebrated in verses. Hvar has been painted by the painters. But Hvar town itself is the best narrator of its own story. It is enough to come and see for oneself. That way we shall touch the piece of the legend.
Jelsa is 27km east of Hvar town and on the northern coast of Hvar Island. Although the offer of products and the quality of services are not much lower in Jelsa then in town Hvar, the prices in Jelsa are lower. It mostly refers to the prices in restaurants, bars, clubs, cafes as well as prices of accommodation.
