I'm sending out an SOS

Hvar and the islands immediately surrounding it seem to be reminiscent of what (I imagine) Ibiza was like 20 years ago.  You can just jump in any one of a number of local little boats and they will take you out to any of the islands and drop you anywhere you like, depending on what you feel like that particular day.

You can choose from any one of a number of stunning beaches (well, more like smooth rocks) but all with the most amazingly clear water, among other things...

Or the beach clubs that are common in Europe but with huge big cushions you can either lounge around on in situ if you want 'cushion service', or you're welcome to drag them anywhere you like along the beach for more privacy. In all cases clothing is completely optional. And I mean completely.

And of course in both cases drinks are always available, and the local beer is cheaper than bottled water. And no I can't remember what it's called on account of probably consuming too many.

When the sun goes down, the real action starts. This is the Hula Hula bar which has great drinks, fantastic DJ, stunning location (ie. right on the water and people regularly just jump in whenever they feel like it) and is a great place the start the night.

When Hula winds up around 12.30am, Carpe Diem club is just getting started (opens at 1am, seen here during the day in relative peace and quiet). You can only get there by boat (luckily we have our own, complete with sober pilot) and basically is a massive dance party which goes until 4am when the last ferry leaves to go back to Hvar.

Thanks Croatia - I had a blast! Although I think my liver is officially sending out an SOS.
