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. A magical energy on the island pulses through you when you step onto her rocky shores. The turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea embrace the isle like a long-lost lover, and you find yourself lost in the beauty, daydreaming about never leaving. I’m so glad I experienced Hvar, Croatia’s lovely tranquility, stunning beauty, and rich history.
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 ringing church bells, which is common throughout Europe. Jelsa is nestled between the two highest mountain peaks on the island, with Hum to the east and St. Nicolas to the west. It has a lovely protected harbor, perfect for escaping storms and taking refuge.
