The Wonderful Tranquility, Beauty, and History of Hvar, Croatia
I only spent 24 hours on the island of Hvar, Croatia, but I’ll never forget it. There is a magical energy on the island that pulses through you when you step onto her rocky shores. The turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea embrace the island like a long lost lover, and you find yourself lost in the beauty, day dreaming about never leaving. I’m so glad I got to experience the lovely tranquility, stunning beauty, and rich history of Hvar, Croatia.
Lovely Tranquility
The charming town of Jelsa is home to only a few thousand lucky residents, which is probably why it’s so quiet. The only interruption to the tranquility is the regular sound of church bells ringing, which is a common occurrence throughout Europe. Jelsa is nestled between the two highest mountain peaks on the island, with Hum to the east and St. Nicolas on the west. It has a nice protected harbor, perfect for escaping storms and taking refuge.
