MILNA BAY NEAR HVAR TOWN HIDES AMAZING BEACHES

Image
My last two posts took you to  Hvar town. Hvar is a gorgeous historical city and a centre of island's night life, but during the summer it can get a bit crowded on its beaches. There are just not enough beaches in Hvar town to meet the demand.  Hvar city isn't very large so it is easy for its beaches to get crowded. Fortunately, there are some stunning beaches in vicinity and today I'll show you one of them. Milna bay is located in vicinity of Hvar town. This gorgeous bay is just a short drive away from Hvar town. Milna bay boosts with four beaches. I visited two of its beautiful beaches and I can vouch for them- they are absolutely stunning, particularly the larger one. I hope they won't be too crowded in the summer, so I can try swimming here.

It is my mission to explore all of them and to sh...

These photographs were taken back in February on a gloriously sunny and warm day winter day. I remember regretting taking my puffer with me because as the day progressed, it became quite hot. Curiously, the weather lately hasn't been exactly spring-like, so I kind of feel jealous of my past self in this moment. It is nice to revisit these sunny photographs. Moreover, these photographs were taken long before the whole corona epidemic thing, so strolling a historical town on that particular winter weekend was an extremely calming and relaxing experience.  As I said, today I'll speak about this historical monastery and will even take you inside of it. So, scroll down to see and read more.  I've been meaning to visit this historical Franciscan monastery for a while and I'm ...
