The stunning Croatian island of Hvar is famously beautiful. Consistently one of the top ten islands in the world according to Conde Nast, it is a rather unique place that is unusual for the area for having a large fertile coastal plain and fresh water springs. Its hillsides are covered in pine forests, with vineyards, olive groves, fruit orchards and lavender fields and it boasts both mild winters, and warm summers with long sunny days. The coasts of the island are dotted with perfect sandy beaches and pretty marinas full of boats and yachts and lovely little towns and settlements dot the countryside.
However, there is one feature, above all others, that helped propel this pretty island into the spotlight; its iconic lavender fields. In fact, the incredible images of endless fields of lavender tossed by playful breezes are what first caught the attention of the world and made many add the island to their bucket lists. While the island no longer looks quite like those famous pictures, it is still a stunning place and a must for anyone who has found a vacation rental in Split-Dalmatien.
