About this tour
This session pairs the Venetian Loggia, a 15th-century building beside Hvar's main square, with a walk along the harbour promenade that runs beside it. You see how the old Loggia was later built into a harbourside hotel, then the promenade itself, lined with yachts that vary hugely between summer and the quieter months. It is a calmer companion session to the busier square.
We start at the Loggia with a sound check, then walk the promenade for the second stop, taking questions about the boats and the buildings along the way. A short note follows once we finish.
It suits visitors who want a relaxed second look at the old town after a busier first session. It also works well later in the afternoon, when the promenade is at its most pleasant.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
