The story

Sveti Klement is the largest of the Pakleni Islands, the chain of pine-covered islets opposite Hvar Town, and it has no roads, you arrive by boat.

In Vlaka bay, Nikola Colnago’s family runs a small wine bar where you drink their own wine, plavac mali among it, with food: cheese, olives and a short menu.

It is the natural pause in a boat day around the Pakleni: tie up in the bay, walk up from the water, and taste in the shade.
