A handy way to see more of Hvar Island’s rural interior is to make the 20-minute drive east to the resort of Jelsa, about half-way along the upper coast.
Jelsa is the island’s favourite family beach resort, but also has a paved old town full of sights worthy of a walking tour.
At the heart of the city is the angular Croatian Renaissance Square (Pjaca), enclosed by the tables and awnings of restaurants.
