There is nothing fancy here, just great locally produced food expertly served in an ambiance which will give you an insight into the Mediterranean as it once was.
Kayaking
The starting point of the kayaking tour is the town of Hvar. You set off to the group of small islands called the Pakleni. The origin of the name goes back to old days when the islands were the main source of rosin for local shipbuilders.
Today, just like then, the islands are covered with thick pine woods providing refreshing shade even during the hottest summer days.
The route through narrow straits and along the islands reveals small hidden pebble beaches where you can enjoy the privilege of having, at least temporarily, a beach of your own, where you can swim, snorkel and relax.
