Must see for all types of travellers. Night life is one of the best at this part of Croatia. The lack of beaches near old town is not an issue because you get to have excursions by boat to Pakleni islands near Hvar, this makes going for a swim a small adventure. At some caffes (carpe di em) you need to make a reservations a few days before to get a place at evening, of course a prices are ripp of. I am coming to Hvar island often, but this time decided to have accommodation in Hvar out of city of Hvar (in Sucuraj). This village is on the other part of island, closer to mainland, but then you get the chance to visit Korcula, Dubrovnik and other places on coast as one day trip. The whole island is definitelly must see.
