Scedro Islands

The Scedro Islands sit two miles south of Hvar — a small chain of forested islets uninhabited apart from a handful of summer-only family konobas that grill the day's fish on tables built into the rocks. The main anchorage at Lovišća is a U-shaped bay with sand patches on the seabed and clarity down to 10 metres. A ruined 15th-century Dominican monastery sits on the hill above the bay — the village around it has been abandoned for centuries. Scedro is 30 minutes from Hvar Town by sail. Season runs May through October; most boats use it as an overnight escape from the Hvar nightlife.

Recommended duration: ideal for 1 days
