"I found the island of Hvar to be one of Croatia’s most iconic destinations, and the journey there can be just as memorable—especially if you start from the coastal city of Split; the trip heads south along the Dalmatian coast beside the crystalline Adriatic Sea." - Marco Palermo
"On a port-of-call landing during a Via Croatia yacht sailing, I dove off the coast and, despite a lack of coral, had the closest octopus encounter I’ve ever had. The mollusc climbed a rock and I watched it camouflage itself with the texture while hunting for prey." - Erik Trinidad
"A country at the crossroads of Central and Southeast Europe known for its medieval architecture and Adriatic coast."
"A Croatian island known for its lavender fields and historic towns."
"Hvar and the Dalmatian Islands in Croatia offer travelers a unique Mediterranean experience. Hvar, known as the "Queen of the Dalmatian Islands," has lavender fields, vineyards, and magnificently clear waters. Visitors can explore the charming old town of Hvar, which has picturesque squares, historic buildings, and a medieval fortress offering panoramic views of the harbor and the Adriatic Sea. Hvar's vibrant nightlife scene is also a draw, with trendy beach clubs and bars energizing the evenings." - Travel + Leisure Editors
