Vrboska is the smallest island town on sunny Hvar, distinctive for its geographical location hidden in the depths of the bay, untouched dense pine forest, cultural sights with features of the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles, and architecture interspersed with winding streets. It is also called Croatia's little Venice.
An enchanting fishing village, it delights with picturesque houses, beautiful stone bridges with the charm of a small historic town.
It consists of two parts, divided by a narrow fjord: the eastern part "Pjaca" (with Renaissance and Baroque houses) and the western part "Podva" (with churches, narrow streets and houses in Renaissance and Gothic style).
One of the main attractions and a recognizable symbol of Vrboska is the small island "Škojić".
The stone houses are reflected in the still water of the canal, and then comes the bridge. Below it are arches for the passage of small boats, and then again the bridge. The inhabitants of Vrboska (about 500 of them) have boats with folding masts, precisely so that they could sail through the brackish channel, mixed with sea and stream water, which flows through their town.
