Marinkovac Island

The island of Marinkovac belongs to the Spalmadori Islands (Pakleni) in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea. Marinkovac is a small island: its surface area is 0.6 square kilometres with a coastal area of just over 6 kilometres. What makes this island particularly worth visiting is its unspoiled nature: the island of Marinkovac is, in fact, a completely uninhabited island. On the island of Marinkovac, there is also a place among all the Spalmadori islands (Pakleni) that is a must-see: the idyllic bay of Zdrilca. Not far from Hvar, on this very island, there is a bay of transparent water that laps a very picturesque beach: welcome to the bay of Zdrilca, swimming here at sunset will be a unique experience.

Palmižana Bay

If you want to take a boat tour to the Pakleni (or Spalmadori islands), you have surely heard of Palmižana Bay, one of the most famous destinations in the entire Hvar archipelago. Palmižana is a small uninhabited village on the island of Sveti Klement, with a small harbour and a few restaurants (including Meneghello and Totò) where you can eat local specialities based on fish, scampi, lobsters and shellfish. Once you reach this bay, expect a transparent blue sea and an intense smell of rosemary, heather and exotic plants imported here from all over the world. Thanks to its fame, Palmižana Bay is a very touristic place but not for this reason chaotic: visiting Palmižana Bay at sunset means visiting one of the most famous places on the Spalkmadori Islands (Pakleni) at a time of absolute tranquillity and charm.

Vela Garska Bay

One of the most beautiful beaches in Hvar is the Vela Garska Bay: it is a rocky beach that draws a bay with a special shape. This bay, in fact, has represented since ancient times a natural shelter in case of bad weather. So this is the perfect place to drop anchor and have an aperitif on the boat, sheltered from the wind and lulled by a calm sea. Relax here and finish your boat tour to Pakleni islands from Hvar with a refreshment in Vela Garska bay.
