The magical beaches and coastal stone towns are just a short distance away, but life in inland Hvar looks very different, and the further you travel up the island's hills, the more rugged and unfamiliar the terrain.
Not many tourists make it to the top of the island and its peak at Sv. Nikola, but it is definitely worth the effort. If you don't have the time or energy, however, sit back and find out what you are missing in this stunning one minute video of the island of Hvar from above close up.
