Best time to visit Hvar island
The best time to visit Hvar is in the shoulder season which runs from April till mid-June, and from September to October. This is when the crowds are manageable, the weather is warm and pleasant, and the prices more affordable. If you visit in Autumn you’ll also have the benefit of the warmer sea.
Hvar claims it gets the most sunshine of all the islands and it is a popular summer holiday destination that becomes very crowded, loud, and expensive in the peak of season which is from late June till the end of August.
As a rule of thumb, we would advise you to avoid Croatia in the peak of summer. It just gets too hot, too crowded, and too expensive. You’ll have a much better experience visiting in late spring or early Autumn.
During the winter months, Hvar is very quiet and most bars, restaurants and shops are closed.
