After Vrboska, you should definitely stay in Hvar area, and head for the Pakleni otoci. Passing along the west cape of the island of Hvar called Pelegrin, wonderful sights, such as the bay of Pribinja, Jagodna and other areas of outstanding natural beauty will capture your attention until you come to this group of islands. A literal translation into English being "Hell islands", you would have expected some different scenery such as a big mountain of fire, Indiana Jones running away from lava or a gulag-like facility with convicts running around, but no. The original word paklina, an archaic Croatian word, from which pakleni is derived, meant "tar", referred to as the pine resin used to coat ships that had been harvested on these islands. Nowadays, these islands look like a peaceful and beautiful nature suburb of Hvar town, a complete opposite of the rush hour that never ends on there. ACI marina Palmižana is an option to spend the night in. For a more romantic setting, there are several well-protected bays to provide shelter for the night. Be aware of the shallows and rocks under the surface.
