THE ISLAND OF HVAR
One of the most beautifull islands
in the world!
In
September 2001 we spent three splendid weeks on the island of Hvar, in
the autocamp Nudist near beautiful old town called Vrboska. We started
our trip in Ljubljana at 30.08 early in the morning. After a long drive
with only a few short stops, we stayed in a small textile camp near Trogir
and stayed there for two days. Trogir is an old town, full of historical
monuments and very Ciovo, very picturesque. It's just like 25 years ago,
when we visit Trogir for the first time. The surroundings are a bit different,
of course, there's a lot of new buildings, specially at the island of
Ciovo.
At
the 1st of September we continued our trip to Split, Omis, Podgora and
finally Drvenik, where the car ferry drives to Sucuraj on the island of
Hvar. Sucuraj looks as a likable small village. They also have a naturist
camp there. But we continued to Jelsa and Vrboska. The road is only for
very brave drivers. It's very narrow and without any protection enclosures.
So after 50 km of horror drive we finally came to Jelsa, where the road
is much better. But on the other hand that road is very interesting. You
can enjoy there untouched nature and take a look at the places tourists
usually don't see. There are many possibilities for Robinson tourism.
At
the evening we came to Nudist autocamp and immediately noticed that's
a right place for us. It's a small autocamp, very peacefull. Guests were
mostly from Germany, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Netherlands and some others.
They were all very communicative so we made some new acquaintances very
soon. The personnel was very kind, but not intruding. The beach is pretty
short and rocky, but on the left side there's a long clothing optional
beach where almost everyone is nude, so there's a lot of possibilities
to find a place to enjoy privacy or a long nude walk. In the opposite
of the main beach is Zecevo, a small naturist island. If you have any
kind of boat, you can go there easily. If you don't, you can use a taxi
boat from Vrboska or Jelsa.
Since we had some rainy days, we made some trips to places
around Vrboska. Hvar is one of the most beautifull towns in Dalmatia.
There's an ancient castle above the town. There's a good view to the town
and Pakleni (Hellish) islands. In the castle they have a museum where
you can learn a lot of Hvar's history. The town is full of good restaurants
and possibilities to have some fun. You can use one of many taxi boats
to go to Pakleni islands or the Sv. Jerolim island to enjoy nude beaches
there.
Starigrad is the hometown of the famous Croatian poet Petar
Hektorovic. His cottage is worth of notice.
Sv.
Nedjelja is a village on the south side of the island. There's a road
from Jelsa trough a narrow tunnel to that village. That side of the island
is full of rock walls. Like everywhere at the Croatian coast there's some
hidden nude beaches. They also offer taxi boats to the island of Scedro,
where is a naturist beach as well.
We
were very impressed by Humac, a small village close to Jelsa, on the top
of the island. No one lives there now, all of people left it years ago.
Abandoned houses are very picturesque and we believe there's some kind
of source of positive lifes energies. There's a small church nearby, which
is open only twice a year. And there's an original Dalmatian tavern. They
offer traditional Dalmatian dishes, not like other restaurants. They produce
their own food and only in natural way.
Unless we wish to stay on Hvar forever, the time came to
go home. We used the big car ferry from Starigrad to Split, which is the
shortest way to go to Slovenia. On the way home we spent one night in
Vodice, close to Sibenik. That day we visited a beautiful national park
at Krka waterfalls.
