Pakleni otoci
A group of pine-covered islands just off Hvar Town, reached by boat in 10 to 20 minutes. Features include Palmižana Bay, nude bathing beaches and beach clubs.
The Pakleni Islands are a group of about 20 small islands southwest of Hvar Town, covered in pine forest and scrub, with clear seawater. They are Hvar's most popular swimming spot. In summer, water taxis or scheduled ferries leave Hvar harbour and reach them in 10 to 20 minutes. The largest island, Sveti Klement, has Palmižana Bay and a restaurant set in a botanical-garden style. Jerolim has a nude bathing beach, and Marinkovac is home to the Carpe Diem beach club. A return ticket costs about 10 to 15 euros. Sailing and kayak tours are also popular.
