Due to its central position it is an ideal starting point for long walks and hiking trips across the sunniest and the most sweet-smelling island of the Adriatic. The thousand years of uninterrupted history left numerous monuments of urban presence of men on the island. The city walls of Pharos from the 4th century B.C., the Roman mosaics, churches from the early Christian period, medieval street complexes and most of all Tvrdalj – the Renaissance fortified castle with a pond and a garden belonging to the poet Petar Hektoroviæ, bear presence of the 24 centuries of this city. A walk through the old town is like listening to the whispers of the bygone times.
