HVAR, Croatia - is it worth visiting the island of Hvar?

Is the island of Hvar worth visiting when you travel to Croatia? Hvar, Croatia is an island off the Dalmatian coast on the Adriatic Sea. The town of Hvar is known to pull in the crowds and can be a busy party town that is active late into the night - is this what we found when we visited in October? Just outside the old town, up on the hillside the fortress. It's not a long long walk and you get some of the most beautiful views over the old town of Hvar (a must-do when visiting). Join us as we explore what Hvar has to offer and see if it's a town worth visiting!

Hvar is such a beautiful island, I would totally enjoy the walk up to the Fortress and the views at the top. The harbor is so peaceful and the streets look so clean, worth a visit in 2023. Thanks for sharing.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you for watching, Jamie! Cheers!!🍻

The most beautiful place on this planet is Hvar! Been going there since I was a kid, every year! And the thing that I miss the most about Hvar is that strong scent, the mix of sea, lavender and pine smell. Hits you in the head right after you step out of the ferry (katamaran) and you are on the heaven island! It is really amazing ❤️❤️❤️

[@fernandomilicich8160]

Tako je !

Go to normal bars and have fun in Aloha,Nautica,Sidro,Lola bar and Kiva

My Croatia...🌺🇭🇷

[@loriday9625]

Looking at going island hopping in Croatia late September/ October and definitely want to swim. What was the water temp like? Keep in mind I’m used to swimming in the Atlantic in Nova Scotia! 😀

[@vidanroje485]

Sea temperature in Sep is 23 to 21 celsius and in Oct is from 21 to 19 celsius, typically

Hvar naš fantazija

[@raindances3310]

Beautiful place! I've been reading that some Countries don't let you in, unless you have a departure ticket already booked. Have you guys run into this?

[@BrianandCarrie]

No place in Europe requires a departure ticket. We will be going to Thailand in January, and we will need one there. Thank you for watching!! Cheers!!!🍻

You both make great vlogs. Hope your subscriber numbers quickly increase for you as you deserve it. Hvar looked lovely - thank you for sharing your visit there with us 🙂

Thank you, Gayle!

Thank you, Donald for the clarification!!

[@stephengunn3903]

Well Done! We were there for a week in July, stayed at an Air BnB just outside of town and loved every minute. Your right Brian, Instagram heaven!

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you, Stephen!

[@dawng1922]

🤣🤣🤣 “not too Hvar”

[@SarahKotri]

We did all that and experienced a bit of the night life. Had our 23 and 19 year old daughters with us so they found it. You missed the amazing beach clubs around the corner… agree this place is amazing. We also took a boat out to some of the islands and that’s not to be missed. This is definitely the playground of the rich- yachts galore and beautiful people, such a fun place.

[@elricko9077]

It’s really not to hvar lol, you kill me Brian! 🍻

[@BrianandCarrie]

[@leftytrower8892]

Beautiful place and the weather looks much nicer than Bellingham’s this time of the year 😂!

Very true!! 😆

50 minutes ferry from where?

Split

[@mclementinamartins7668]

I love your videos so much! The places you visit are all so beautiful. The views astonishing and peaceful. You also have very good music taste to go with these videos. Sometimes I watch them more than once. You can't absorb everything in one time! Ha. And the two thirsty hour is still a good one!

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you for watching! We really appreciate the support and feedback on the music. 😀 Cheers!!!🍻

Beautiful video with gorgeous scenery! Love your videos. ❤️

[@walkietalkietraveller2932]

i echo those words, exactly :)

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you so much!!!

[@merrillmixer1190]

You've shared with us so much, including what you pack, so I'm curious and have decided to ask. What does Brian carry in that backpack on day outings?

[@BrianandCarrie]

We take the backpack for camera gear when we are done filming for the day or have light sweatshirts if we think we will be out later in the evening. We don't take it much but it is really nice to have on travel days.

Hvar is a dream.

Hvar is amazing! We hope to get back to Croatia and explore more of the island and then get up to Zagreb. Thank you for watching our channel. Cheers!!🍻

Great video Carrie, nicely done!

Thanks so much!♥

[@elainechubb971]

How beautiful! I saw just the seafront of Hvar from the big Jadrolinea Split-Dubrovnik ferry back in 1969. (That dates me.) The ferry stopped for about an hour while they unloaded a huge amount of cargo--everything but the kitchen sink. We did see big refrigerators. All the stuff piled on the promenade and a huge tarpaulin pulled over the pile. We hung over the railing in awe. The seafront looked beautiful, and now I see the town is too. Had a week on Korcula a couple of years after, and that's a lovely city, but Hvar looks even more beautiful. Wish I could have visited it. This is a really gorgeous video.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you, Elaine. We had such a great time in Croatia and look to go back within the next couple of years. Beautiful country. Again, thank you!! Cheers!!!🍻

[@elainechubb971]

@@BrianandCarrie Enjoy your future trip! The Montenegrin coast just south of Croatia is also stunning.

[@Fell214]

Hello. Hope you are having a good day. How long did you stay in Split last year? We are planning on a two-month stay starting next week.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Hello and thank you! We stayed for 2 months as well. Last September and October. We found great grocery stores, beaches and and plenty to do. Nice city with plenty to explore or just relax. Thank you for watching our channel and safe travels! Cheers 🍻

[@Fell214]

@@BrianandCarrie Thank you. Do you plan on returning to the U.S. this year, or it a longer stay abroad this time? We find that 4-5 months away at a time is about right for us…then a couple months back in the U.S.

[@BrianandCarrie]

That is exactly what we do. We were home November and December last year before arriving in Thailand for a 5 month SE Asia tour. We are currently in Malaysia for a couple more weeks. We head back to the US the end of May. We will be home a little over 6 weeks before heading to Europe.

[@Fell214]

@@BrianandCarrie Hope you have safe travels. You folks have the best retired nomads channel, and we follow a few of them. We are probably about ten years older than you two, but have been nomads a similar amount of time. You’ve inspired our travel planning.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you so much! That really means a lot to us. 😀

Hvar is not a party town.Hvar is not a party destination

[@BrianandCarrie]

Interesting, totally not what we were told by many ☺️

[@alanjackson2540]

Hi would you know which is more expensive to holiday between Hvar and Split? And apart from hotel, would 100 eros per day be enough for two people? Thank you.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Hvar would be more expensive. It is also a party town in the busy season.

[@alanjackson2540]

Thank you.@@BrianandCarrie

[@tamasbeck2113]

You guys really went up all the way and not paid 7 dollars? :-)

Yep, we didn't see the point. The view was free! 😂

What a nice place, yup ur right prices were high reminded me of my town las vegas!!

It sure is! Thanks for watching ☺️

Can you take a ferry trip from Split to Hvar and back to Split in the same day?

[@BrianandCarrie]

Yes, it is about an hour long ferry ride so you will have plenty of time, nice day trip from Split. Cheers!!🍻

[@xxtoxii9615]

u have a couple of lines that drive all day, catamarans and ferrys, catamarans go straight to Hvar town and ferrys go to Starigrad port from where u have to take a taxi or a bus to get to Hvar town. i recommend catamaran, faster and direct

[@MislavIvkovic-sx8vd]

No dont go there

We loved it!!

Hi, Jeff. We haven't had any problems with language. Most people speak some level of English every place that we have been. Thank you for watching! Cheers!!🍻

Enjoyed watching the video. Prefer less crowded areas like Hvar this time of year.
