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.

The 16th Century Fortress of St. Mary of Grace

This majestic fortress was built to defend local communities against the threat of invasion. Easily one of Croatia’s most beautiful fortresses, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding UNESCO-protected Stari Grad Plain from the roof of this wonderful church during your Croatia Discovery adventure.
