The hike is short but steep, so wear comfortable shoes. The panoramic views from the top are breathtaking and offer a great photo opportunity. The fortress itself is a fascinating piece of Hvar’s history, giving you a glimpse into the island’s past. You'll be able to look down over Hvar's centre and see the amazing orange rooftops which span as far as the eye can see! Then, once you are done soaking in the view you can walk back towards the beach bars - it's 5'oclock somewhere right? Hula Beach Bar is one of our favourites - it's expensive but you are 100% paying for the location with this one!</p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img class="img" src="https://cdn.trutravels.com/images/croatianw-hvar3.jpg?w1295;h913;" srcset="https://cdn.trutravels.com/images/croatianw-hvar3.jpg?w1295 1295w, https://cdn.trutravels.com/images/croatianw-hvar3.jpg?w1280 1280w, https://cdn.trutravels.com/images/croatianw-hvar3.jpg?w1024 1024w, https://cdn.trutravels.com/images/croatianw-hvar3.jpg?w828 828w, https://cdn.trutravels.com/images/croatianw-hvar3.jpg?w768 768w, https://cdn.trutravels.com/images/croatianw-hvar3.jpg?w750 750w, https://cdn.trutravels.com/images/croatianw-hvar3.jpg?w640 640w, https://cdn.trutravels.com/images/croatianw-hvar3.jpg?w414 414w, https://cdn.trutravels.com/images/croatianw-hvar3.jpg?w375 375w, https://cdn.trutravels.com/images/croatianw-hvar3.jpg?w320 320w" style="width: 350px; height: 247px;" width="1295"></p> <p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align: center;">Afternoon: Ice Cream Treat 🍦</p> <p style="text-align: center;">After your afternoon drinks and another dip in the crystal clear water, head back into town and treat yourself to some ice cream at Luka Ice Cream &amp; Cakes.
