"Hvar town hosts hectic mainstream tourism during July/August, which leaves the other historic town, Starigrad, largely unscathed. The rest of the year there is more authentic, relaxed tourism that local people definitely prefer. Both old towns are in good historic shape, authentically presented. Not much countryside tourism, but some memorable hikes in canyons lead to quaint declining villages."
"Feeling the pressure of secondary home buying. Not sure what restrictions are in place, but could very easily lose its storybook appeal."
"Future looks fairly positive, mainly due to historical control by local islanders and community governments."
"The Med as it once was? Maybe, but slipping year by year."
