Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea which is best known as a summer resort is Hvar. The places of interest for tourist comprise of 13th-century walls, a hilltop fortress and a main square anchored by the Renaissance-era Hvar Cathedral. The island also has beaches such as Dubovica and inland lavender fields. The nearby Pakleni Islands are served by boat excursions, which have secluded beaches and coves. Swanky hotels, elegant restaurants along with the posh yachties where hundreds of young partygoers are dancing on tables at the town's legendary beach bars is one alluring thing on the island. Far more subdued and low-key areas are the northern coastal towns of Stari Grad and Jelsa.
