Visit the historic town of Hvar, stroll through its picturesque streets, climb to the fortress with a view of the Pakleni Islands, and enjoy free time for lunch and swimming. Return to Vis in the late afternoon, often accompanied by a spectacular sunset.
Public transport option: You can also travel independently every Tuesday morning via the regular catamaran line from Vis to Hvar and back on the same day. A perfect way to enjoy a self-guided day trip without a tour group.
