If you’re visiting Croatia this year, lavender scented Hvar Island in the Kornati Archipelago is just over an hour’s fast ferry ride from Split and offers the perfect opportunity for relaxed sunbathing or exploring.  The island’s charming capital has a chic harbour, some fine seafood restaurants and dozens of delightful waterfront cafes where you can stop for refreshments on your return from the beach. Boat trips are available to take you to inaccessible little coves dotted around the coastline for a spot of tranquil picnicking and swimming.
