Hvar Sights

Where else in the world could you bathe in CNN's top naturist beach, moor up in a stunning marina, before scuba diving off an island which could be renamed Facebook, before sharing a romantic dinner on an islet inhabited by a donkey named Mercedes? Welcome to the Pakleni Islands.

A quick look inside one of Hvar's least visited attraction: the Benedictine Convent, home to UNESCO lace.

Walking along the riva past Carpe Diem, the Franciscan Monastery comes into view. Built in 1461, it was jointly financed by the nobles of Hvar and sea commanders as testament to their gratitude for many lives saved at sea near Hvar.
