Pakleni Islands

Sveti Klement

Embarking on a journey to Sveti Klement, the largest island within the enchanting Pakleni Otoci archipelago, unveils a path adorned with rich history and breathtaking landscapes. To reach this idyllic destination, travelers embark from two pivotal points: the ancient Dalmatian seaport of Split and the picturesque town of Hvar, nestled on the island of the same name.

Sveti Klement emerges as a captivating tapestry of nature’s artistry when viewed from above. Its rugged coastline, adorned with winding bays and hidden coves, beckons to the soul of the contemplative traveler seeking solace in pristine beauty. Here lies the ultimate insider’s secret—a haven of romance and tranquility, where every element of the landscape whispers tales of serenity.

This picturesque haven is a testament to time, with its quaint fishermen’s village boasting a mere handful of dwellings, a centuries-old chapel erected as a refuge from marauding pirates, and verdant vineyards, olive groves, and vegetable gardens dotting the landscape. Amidst it all reside locals whose genuine hospitality harkens back to a bygone era—a rarity in the fast-paced world of modern tourism.

 

Perfect setting and delicus dinner.

Arrival

For those arriving by air, the nearest airport resides in Split. From there, a swift journey via direct bus or taxi transports travelers to Split’s port, where the Catamaran awaits, whisking passengers between Split and Hvar multiple times daily, with a voyage lasting a mere hour.

Travelers traversing by road find themselves on the newly constructed highway, journeying to the ferry port of Stari Grad on Hvar Island, which offers multiple crossings throughout the day. Upon arrival, a scenic coastal drive of approximately 15 kilometers leads to the town of Hvar, where secured parking facilities cater to travelers’ needs. With prior arrangements made, visitors can then be ferried to Sveti Klement, as no roads traverse the island, and personal vehicles remain behind.

For those seeking self-organized transfers to Vlaka on Sveti Klement, reputable taxiboat services such as Taxiboat Šego and Taxiboat Colnago stand ready to assist. Additionally, ferry connections can be arranged through Jadrolinija, while catamaran schedules are accessible via Krilo.hr.
