Krizna Luka, practical questions
How do you get to Krizna Luka: on foot, by car or by boat?
Krizna Luka is the bay just east of the centre of Hvar town, a few minutes on foot from the riva. Park along the old Hvar to Stari Grad road above the bay and walk down the steep, rocky footpath, about 10 to 15 minutes on uneven ground. The roadside parking strip is small and fills quickly, so many visitors come by taxi boat or rental boat from Hvar harbour instead.
What is the seabed like and how is the entry into the sea?
It mixes pebbles and sunbathing platforms with moored wooden boats, and because it faces the Pakleni islands the light in the evening is beautiful. It is a practical choice when you want a swim without leaving town, with cafes and restaurants close by. The clear, sheltered water is excellent for swimming and snorkelling; arrive early in July and August to be sure of a spot.
Is there a restaurant or bar at Krizna Luka?
Yes, within a few hundred metres you will find Eywa Hvar - Restaurant & Bar, Hvar Brewing Co., BEPO, Il Porto. In peak season come early or book a table for lunch.
What should we bring to Krizna Luka?
Pack water shoes for the pebbles, an umbrella or a hat, natural shade is not guaranteed, sun cream and a towel.
Can we arrive by taxi boat?
Yes. Taxi boats from the Hvar riva run all season and a private ride drops you as close as the seabed allows. See routes and prices on our
water taxi page.
Is Krizna Luka good for small children?
It mixes pebbles and sunbathing platforms with moored wooden boats, and because it faces the Pakleni islands the light in the evening is beautiful. It is a practical choice when you want a swim without leaving town, with cafes and restaurants close by. With small children, keep that entry in mind and pack swim shoes.
