Explorers, alert! It's absolutely mandatory for each and every one of you to add a point to your travel-bucket lists: Traversing Croatia. This country is a diamond in the scope of European travel destinations. Croatia is not only filled with ancient landmarks, but also unexpectedly is home to diverse and striking natural landscapes. One of the first cities to explore when in Croatia is Hvar. The city's history goes back to the middle ages, which has left a deep imprint as a hub on the Adriatic Sea. From the ferry, you can see the terracotta roofs that decorate the coast. During your visit, make sure to explore all of the antique fortresses, the great Cathedral, and the Franciscan Monastery. The smell of the Hvarian lavender fields and sights of history will be ingrained in your mind as unforgettable memories. Even more so, during the summer months, the Croatian waters are so warm and pleasant you won't be able to hold back jumping in.
