Mlini, practical questions
How do you get to Mlini: on foot, by car or by boat?
Access is only by sea: taxi boats from Hvar town harbour take about 10 minutes, and a return trip costs around 9 EUR. From the drop off it is a short walk through pine forest, and a woodland path connects Mlini with Zdrilca bay on the other side of the island. There is a small restaurant near the beach and little else, which is exactly the point: Mlini is the quieter, hidden alternative to Zdrilca and Carpe Diem, good for a slow swimming day away from the crowds.
