Why this trip

An island where children smell lavender in the morning and stand in the clear Adriatic at midday: Hvar is one of Croatia's well-known islands, and with children May to June and September to October are the quieter months. The flight time is about 1.5 hours, after which the journey continues by ferry. The town of Hvar with its fortress can be explored on foot. The climb to the Castle Viewpoint is manageable for primary school children if you start in the morning and take water with you, and at the top there is an all-round panorama over roofs and islands.

Pebble coves and the beaches around the town, such as at Carpe Diem Beach, are exciting above all for older children, while for the little ones quieter bathing coves with shade and a shallow entry are enough. The rhythm stays simple: swimming in the morning, siesta, ice cream at the harbour. The Beach Bay Hotel and the Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Resort lie on the water and stand for the short way from room to beach. Split, Dubrovnik and Zagreb lie on the mainland, and with children a single stop is usually worthwhile.

How your family chooses rooms, ferry times and daily routine is clarified in a video call with Swiss Vibes.
