Vrboska might be Hvar’s smallest town, but good things really do come in small packages.
Admire Hvar Island’s Largest Marina on your Sailing Trip
Situated at the base of a steep cove covered with olive trees, vineyards and pine forests, Vrboska and its marina are seriously stunning and very Instagrammable.
Little Venice
Right in the centre of Vrboska’s bay is a tiny island connected to the rest of the town with a series of bridges, hence the name Little Venice. Cute, right?
The Fishermen’s Museum
As well as expertly displaying a diverse collection of fishing equipment, you can also wander around a reconstructed traditional fishermen’s house which provides visitors with a real sense of the hard work ancient fishermen and labourers had to put in to make their living and sustain their communities.
