The venerable NYT has been a little late on the uptake when it comes to Croatia but is making up for it. This past weekend, Croatia appeared twice. A piece on family vacations correctly noted the many opportunities for active vacations in Croatia that include sailing, cycling and kayaking on the “Dalmatian Riviera” which runs from Split to Dubrovnik.
And, in its “53 Places to Go in 2008” article, the writer highlights Hvar Island, known for its chic nightlife and wonderful Adriana hotel, Croatia’s first Leading Small Hotels of the World. (But, bizarrely, the photo accompanying the article shows Komiza on Vis Island. As if there aren’t plenty of photo-ready spots on Hvar!)
Despite the emphasis on luxury, note that you don’t have to charter a yacht to fit into the Hvar harbour scene! There are plenty of small backpacker bars in the narrow side streets and plenty of reasonably priced private accommodation.
