You push off Hvar's old harbor as the town yawns into sunlight, the boat cutting a silver line across a cobalt sea. Salt and lemon oil hang in the air; islands rise as limestone ribs off the mainland. Over the day you’ll leap from deck into water so clear the reef seems painted beneath you, slip into sea caves where light bends into unreal blue, and rest on beaches hugged by steep cliffs.
