HvarCroatia is a country of many firsts. The first traces of man i.e. the Neanderthal have been found here. Ironically, the earliest traces of stone tools gave way to the first necktie or cravat. The latter is the preferred name, given to this fashion item by the Croats, a symbol of elegance and culture dating back to the 17th century.Geographically speaking, Croatia has a lot to offer.

The area is also known for the abundance of lavender.Spend some Kuna (HRK) and have a good time. Nestled between Slovenia and Bosnia, Italy is also just a ferry ride away
