Riva Souvenir Shops
Stalls and little shops along the riva: lavender, olive oil, sea sponges and an ice cream in hand.
Shopping
Why it is worth your time
Under the palms of Obala kralja Tomislava the souvenir stalls line up: bags of Hvar lavender, oils and rakija from the hinterland, sponges and shells, straw hats for the beach. In the evening, when the riva becomes the whole town's promenade, the little shops glow late and shopping turns into an evening stroll.
Croatia Atlas tip
Buy lavender as seed sachets, not bottles: the scent lasts all winter.
