Situated directly in front of Hvar Town lies a chain of lush islands known as Pakleni otoci (Pakleni Islands). Grab your swimwear and towel and make your way to the town’s beachfront for a sunset kayaking adventure. These islands are the crown jewel of the Hvar Riviera and a popular hideaway for locals looking to escape the summer heat. Comprising a total of 14 wooded and rocky islets, you’ll navigate through them by kayak as the sky transforms hues and the sun dips below the horizon.

The unique formation of the islands makes them ideal for kayaking, allowing you to meander through picturesque coves nestled within the various “legs” of the islets. The nearest island to Hvar Town is Jerolim, known for its clothing-optional beaches and relaxed atmosphere. The largest island, Sveti Klement, beckons with its charming coastal villages, including Palmižana featuring a picturesque bay, sandy shore, lively marina, and numerous cafes. Take a moment to enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear waters or unwind on the sandy beaches.
