Travel Guide Île Pakleni

It is an archipelago of islets across Hvar, the city. Vodnjak Veli can be traced to the west, Vodnjak Mali to the north, and Sveti Klement to the east, which is also the largest in the group. To the south, you can find Dobri and Stanbedar.Palmižana is the nearest bay to Hvar and the most popular on the island of Sveti Klement. It is a good idea to go there when the tumult of Hvar becomes too tiring. To access: Taxis, from the port, take you in 30 minutes. The island is beautiful and open of exotic vegetation. There are a few restaurants on site and full of small coves to bathe. The island of the thousand plants has become a modern art gallery, an exotic botanical garden and a high-end holiday destination for lovers of water, calm and water sports. The Meneghello family owns 300 hectares of this small corner of paradise. The family settled there in 1848, when Egen Meneghelllo, a pharmacist in Hvar, made a fortune with the Equisential, a wild Rosemary medicine from Palmižana. He decided to install an exotic garden of cactus, mimosa, eucalyptus, olive trees and other aromatic plants. The bottom of this Adriatic area is also particularly rich in wrecks where many amphorae still reside. This is how the Meneghello family has one of the largest collections of amphorae. Finally, close to the family restaurant has been installed a modern Croatian art gallery, the same establishment and bungalows to rent have walls covered with works.For some years, a marina has been built in the bay of Palmižana, which can accommodate 200 boats. This is a last reason to go there. Hvar and its island have been listed in the top 10 of the nicest islands in the world. To reach the other islands you will need more time. They are just as beautiful as Palmižana, but with a little less world, which is rather an advantage in the high season. You can ask a taxi to accompany you or rent your own boat.
