Location
Pakleni Island, a captivating cluster of wooded isles, graces the landscape just off the shores of Hvar town. Despite its name, which translates to ‘Hell’s Islands’, it actually originates from ‘Paklina’, the pine resin once collected here for boat waterproofing. A more fitting description would be the ‘green and blue Paradise’ of the Dalmatian coast, as it boasts an abundance of deep blue caves and picturesque white sandy beaches. The island’s serene beauty and vibrant colors create an enchanting destination for all to enjoy.
