Place to see – Pakleni otoci
Pakleni Otoci – Hell Islands are the prettiest part of Hvar’s, if not the of whole Croatian riviera. A playful chain of woody isles, dipped in a clear, azure sea, a few resorts and swimming areas, and a number of little, hidden away beaches, stone terraces facing sun, and beautiful deserted lagoons make, as someone said, “An Arcadia in grasp of the palm.”
The resorts from the east to the west:
Jerolim – a nudist swimming area
The famous and traditional Hvar’s nudist swimming area is situated on the Jerolim isle (which was named after the 15th century church). There are showers and a restaurant. The swimming area can be accessed by the organised, regular boat connection from the port of Hvar.
Stipanska – a nudist swimming area
A woody lagoon on Pakleni Otoci, with a number of pebble beaches, numerous hidden places for relaxed enjoyment of the Hvar’s sea and sun, and picturesque submarine life.
There are several restaurants.
The swimming area can be accessed by the organised, regular boat connection from the port of Hvar.
