Split!
... Top of my list was Tchaikovsky hostel, which was just behind the palace from the bus station. I arrived to an empty room...and I mean totally empty...not even the owner! But he had left a note on the door, so I gave him a call. And I've very glad I did. The hostel is run by a young guy name Filip, and we got along great.

Sun and Fun in Hvar
... The best part at the end ... the bill for all 6 of us was the same as our seafood meal at the more touristy restaurant on our first night. The lesson is, always go with the local advice.
