The Island of Hvar, Croatia

It does not seem possible that I was on vacation one month ago. The French vacation company Nouvelles-Frontières has many trips and I chose to take with them, a two-week multi-sport tour of the islands of Croatia between Split and Dubrovnik. We landed in Split on the coast and the next day took a ferry to the island of Hvar. On Hvar we took bicycles along the streets of the small harbor village of Vrboska which has a little estuary. The stone bridge there is only wide enough for bicycles and pedestrians.



The group of five voyagers plus the French and English speaking Croatian guide stayed in a small hotel / guest house in Jelsa which overlooks the small harbor and village. The view of the town center and churches was excellent. The modern ferry runs several times per day with the last stop in Jelsa for the evening. By early morning, the boat has parted and the harbor is quiet.









The little town of Jelsa has many stone building, cobbled streets and many wonderful views.
