    Hey guys I’m from Croatia my Grandfather was actually born on Hvar at the other end there’s a small fishing village called Suuraj where he was from, the reason so meany people go there to party is because at night the town changes and the night life comes out but mostly in mid summer and has some of the best and most expensive clubs and bars in Croatia

      Thanks for watching Matthew. Good to know about the party island history. I think what we were more curious about is why 'in general' that island. I know at night things switch to party mode but I'm very curious how partying came to be on that island vs another. :) - Trevor

    Pharos means Lighthouse. It was a colony of PAROS: founded in 385/84 BC. on the coast of Dalmatia. Excavations that began in the 1980s and continue until recently have brought to light a part of the GREEK city developed in the Stari Grad plain, cemeteries and part of its walls with fortification towers. Movable finds include everyday use and product handling vessels, coins, metal, stone and bone objects, jewelry, inscriptions, clay statues, etc. Recent investigations into the study of the urban design of the ancient city, its territorial district and its defense system have revealed an impressive cultural landscape in the area of ​​Faros, whose geometric layout seems to have been designed by the Parian settlers in the 4th century. century BC As one of the world's best preserved ancient Greek cadastral systems, the Lighthouse was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2008. In the area of ​​historical figures of the Adriatic region, it played a leading role in the turbulent historical events of the 3rd century AD. during the wars with the romans, lighthouse highlighted one of the most debated historical figures, demetrios the lighthouse, which was eventually defeated by roman emile Paul in the famous historic battle of lighthouse in 219 BC, which is described in detail by historical Polybius.

    I love the Adriatic coastline( i worked there after the war on environmental restoration projects)...the water is so amazingly beautiful i can see now in my mind....I also really like Istria...once is not enough for Croatia and Montenegro too ;-)....yes Hvar is kind of a party hub...once a place like that gets that kind of reputation its sort of self fufilling and draws a certain crowd...you're right there are so many other special islands and spots on the mainland keep posting you deserve many more subscribers

    1:00 "that's why it looks a lot like Italy"
    If you look at the Dalmatian coastline, a lot of towns and villages have the same style and most buildings on Hvar have been built after the Venetians left. It's a typical dalmatian (Croatian) style of building

      Mljet, one of the Croatian National Parks, has two salty lakes and an islet on the bigger lake. The air smells of wild plants and herb there. Korcula is beautifu too. Don't miss Kornati Archipelago, another National Park, take a day trip from Zadar or Sibenik.

      Ahhhhh Noo Trevor.. I meant you - literally just got in the door from Croatia. Loved Vis Starigrad and Markaska (probably spelt them all wrong) and went to the Biokovo national park and did a hike along the massive mountain (1762 meters elevation). Absolutely magical. Fell in love with Croatia and cant wait to go back.
