Jelsa is located on the island of Hvar in Croatia. This little-known charming destination is ideal for beach holidays. From the mainland town of Split, take a boat across to Hvar to escape the crowds. During summers, the temperature reaches 32 degrees Celsius (89.6 degrees Fahrenheit). You’ll be blessed with outstanding ocean views and delicious seafood. In addition, Jelsa is home to a long history of winemaking. For the best places to relax, head to one of the many cafes in the main square. Tarantela Bar is well known for coffee. After lunch, stroll through the famous gardens of Perivoj. You can buy fresh local ingredients from Rubins Family Farm. Like all the best-hidden secrets, the farm is slightly tricky to find. But, you’ll have a knowledgeable host if you choose to stay at one of these best Airbnb vacation rentals in Jelsa, Croatia.
