Staying in Podstine on Hvar's western coast
Podstine lies west of Hvar's center, beyond Majerovica. When choosing a property, compare the route to the water with the route into town, since they serve different daily needs. Ask whether the entrance is reached from the upper road and whether there are steps between your room, the shore and the coastal walking route.
