What to do and see in Hvar Island, Dalmatia: The Best Museums
Claiming to be the sunniest spot in all of Europe, the Croatian island of Hvar is the perfect destination for tourists seeking the beauty of Mediterranean beaches without the crowds associated with more well-known destinations. Pathways lined with lavender vines lead to secluded coves, small fishing villages and local vineyards, and ferries and catamarans carry visitors across the calm, blue waters to the surrounding islands, all worthy of exploration.

2. Malo Grablje

Reviewed By DutchWalker - Nijmegen, The Netherlands
We visited this place for its restaurant, which is excellent but that’s for another review. De city of Malo Grablje is completely abandoned around 1960, apparently due to a disease that destroyed the olives / wine yards. The city is left as is and is slowly being taken apart my nature, so be careful if you decide to enter one of the houses. It’s a really beautiful place to walk around. We might go back for some of the hiking trails that start there. There is an hotel/apartment place build at the edge of the village, so for how long this place stays abandoned is the question.
3. Fort Napoljun - Napolean

This fortress is not advertised very much...came across review of this on TripAdvisor, thankfully. It is absolutely breathtaking view specially during sunset! Hiking up on mounting road path is fairly easy, it's a stone path but not steep hill, very comfortable gradually uphill and takes only 45-50. You can see the whole Hvar City and all the surrounding Islands. Highly recommend, it is worth the walk. It is not a fortress you can go inside, its used as Tele communication facility now days. Do not forget your camera!

6. Sosa Gallery
Our 25 year old gallery is located on the steps from the main square towards the fortress, between Leporini and Macondo restaurants, next to the Lace Museum. Here you can find original and unique pieces by local artists, from tiny boats and bells in bright colors, to paintings that will easily fit your luggage - all in a beautiful, cool atmosphere.
