Why Pakleni Islands matters
Hop on a taxi boat from Hvar harbour and within minutes you reach pine-fringed coves with turquoise water. Some islets have restaurants, others are almost empty. Bring a mask and a snorkel, and go early in the day. These islands are the favourite swimming escape for locals and visitors alike.
Talking points
- Water taxis run from Hvar harbour.
- Some bays have beach restaurants, others nothing at all.
- Clear water is great for snorkelling.
