Hvar
The most-photographed Adriatic island. Lavender fields in June, Renaissance Hvar Town, the Pakleni Islands as the boat-day extension. Expensive in August; properly under-priced in late September.

Sea crosses 22°C in mid-June, peaks at 25°C in late July. Hvar Town in August is Adriatic-luxury crowded; **the late September window** (sea still 24°C, prices down 40%, fewer charter boats) is the genuinely undervalued one. Stari Grad on the north coast is the quieter base.
