Paklinski or Pakleni islands, also known as Hell’s islands, got its name from the tar created after pine resin once used to cook paklina. Pakleni Islands are the prettiest part of Hvar’s, if not the whole Croatian riviera.
A playful chain of woody isles, dipped in a clear, azure sea, a few resorts and swimming areas, and several little, hidden away beaches, stone terraces facing the sun, and beautiful deserted lagoons make, as someone said, “An Arcadia in the grasp of the palm.
A group of rocky islets off the coast of Hvar is known as the Pakleni Islands. This stunning archipelago is easily accessible by boat from Hvar town and is a well-liked day trip destination, offering some of Croatia’s most stunning beaches, some of the best snorkelling, and some of the most amazing beach clubs.
Though the name Pakleni Otoci literally means “Hell Islands,” but, the Pakleni Islands are more like Paradise Islands and are a must-see while visiting Hvar. They are just a short boat ride from the town of Hvar!
