On the other side of the island from Jelsa is Hvar town. It's similar to other little croatian towns - narrow streets, defenses against turks, etc... But Hvar has become a hotspot for the international glitterati, or as I call them 'the asshole set'.

The place was full of trendy bars and dolled-up italians, with a bevy of yachts in the harbor waiting for a few coke-filled orgies. I was most annoyed by the snot-nosed american kid we passed, wearing shorts, a blue dress shirt, and a baseball cap. Just classic WASPy white trash.

But the town is beautiful. A lot of renaissance architecture that you can't find in other cities. Would I recommend it? Maybe ... as long as you avoid July and August.
