Reviews

Hvar in the Modern Age takes you on a sailing voyage to the island that mirrored states, empires, nationalities, wars, and extremes. The scents of rosemary, lavender, olives, sardines and wine are felt across the centuries of hardship, convolution, and integration. From medieval travellers to contemporary tourists, you are also invited on this magnificent journey into the heart of Adriatic. * Mateo Bratanic, Associate Professor, University of Zadar, Croatia  *
