On the other hand, if you want to be in the center of all the hottest events, VIP parties, restaurants and clubs, you must visit island Hvar. Although the island is best known for its party scene, there are also many areas for enjoyment on pebbly coves, old vineyards, and historic heritage.

The farthest island from the coast is island Vis that has some of the most magical bays and beaches you can think of! The nature of this island was greatly preserved from tourists due to the military past over 30 years ago.

Dubrovnik

Equally work of mentioning are town Zadar best known for its unique street installations called Greetings to the sun and Sea Organs.
