Our Spontaneous Island Hopping and Boat Adventure to the Pakleni Islands
#islandtour#100waysoftravel #croatia #islandhoping #Paklenisland #hvar
We took a ferry from Split to Hvar and, on a whim, decided to rent a boat from a local Croatian guy. None of us had any experience driving a boat, but the owner was super cool and laid-back. He gave us a quick demo on how to start the engine and navigate, then, with absolute confidence, rented the boat to us. His only advice was to avoid hitting the yachts, as they were expensive. Armed with a simple map, we set off toward Pakleni Islands, an archipelago known for its pristine beaches, secluded coves, and crystal-clear waters. It was an incredible feeling to be in control of the boat, exploring the hidden bays and small islets at our own pace. We anchored near Palmizana, where we swam in the turquoise water and relaxed on the beach, surrounded by the scent of pine trees and the sound of gentle waves. The freedom of the open sea, the beauty of Pakleni, and the thrill of driving the boat ourselves made for a truly unforgettable adventure.

Hvar: Sun-Kissed Luxury and Island Charm
Hvar is the perfect blend of Mediterranean beauty and vibrant island life. My stay at the stunning apartment was an absolute highlight, offering incredible views of the turquoise waters. The heart of the island, **Hvar Town**, buzzes with energy, from its historic **Fortica Fortress** to its lively marina. I recommend climbing to the fortress for panoramic views of the town and nearby islands—it's worth the trek! For a relaxing escape, head to **Pakleni Islands** for secluded beaches and crystal-clear coves. Hvar’s nightlife is also not to be missed, with chic bars along the waterfront. This island has it all—history, adventure, and luxury!
**#TravelTips:** Visit during the shoulder season to avoid crowds and enjoy the island’s natural beauty in peace. And don’t miss trying the local lavender products, a specialty of Hvar.
