Island Weddings in Croatia

Hvar island is situated on the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic. Its weather and landscape are worthy of Heaven itself, just like an old local lyric said "I know paradise now, I know Hvar". Thus, it is no surprise that Hvar island continues to be a muse for different artists, such as painters and poets who find their peace and inspiration in the island's beautiful landscapes. Hvar island has a typical Mediterranean climate with gentle winds and an average temperature between 26 to 30°C in summer, while the average annual temperature doesn't go below 16°C.

Hvar town is the centre of Hvar island, a town that combines the old with the new. A huge 16th century fortress dominates the old centre of the town while representative pieces of Mediterranean and Dalmatian architecture – Hvar Town Hall and the Cathedral – delight the eyes of the tourists.
With facades of faded mustard and peeling tangerine, the ornate hotels and homes lining the harbour in Hvar Town are faintly reminiscent of Venice, which once ruled the island. The main square, Trg Sveti Stjepana, a pocket-sized Piazza San Marco with seagulls instead of pigeons, is paved with marble flagstone polished to an alarmingly slippery sheen. In one corner is the handsome Arsenal, which once served as a repair station for Venetian galleons; the Venetians called it "the most beautiful and most useful building in the whole of Dalmatia
