Something to see/do in Vrboska. 2€ admission. Open 10-12. Outside is open 24/7. No information is provided outside on why a church is part fortress.

A stunning place with incredible architecture and rich history. Clean, safe, and welcoming—no doctors or engineers roaming around like in Western countries. A must-visit when in Hvar!

Don't bother! Insulting that there is a fee of €2 to enter this largely empty barn. Yes, it includes the rooftop, though we had no interest in ascending it in the blazing sun and heat. Considering that this is the main item (of two) in the town, we left with the impression that the town had no concept of welcoming visitors.

Church and fortress in one.. awesome look on city entrance on the sea side. working hours are from 10-12 and 18-20:30. Ticket price is symbolic

Maybe most famous landmar, and certainly most famous monument in Vrboska. Church is not open always, and when it is its open from somewhere around 10am-12am and from 19:30-21:00pm Thicket are 15kn (~2e) There are some interesting graffiti in the tower next to the stairs from many years ago (some from the beginig of 20 cenury)

Great view on the harbor and the inner city. Impressive architecture that shows the transformation of a church into a fortress.

Interesting building!

Park Jelsa is a lovely green escape right in the heart of the town. Surrounded by palm trees, benches, and well-kept flower beds, it’s the perfect place to relax with a coffee or take a slow stroll in the shade. You’ll often see locals chatting or kids playing, which gives it a calm and friendly vibe. It’s just steps from the harbor and the main square, so it’s super easy to find. Ideal for taking a break after exploring or just sitting down to enjoy the sea breeze. Small, peaceful, and full of charm — a little gem in Jelsa.

Nice and sweet town with kind people 👌 A hat is a "must have" 😁

Snow on the mainland. Cute cafes and warm enough to sit outside to not be smoked up. Meeting the locals Doing the banking All you need can be found here Even a hot water bottle

In general my favorite town on the island, beautiful with friendly people, best ice cream and cake shop,

Lovely place to explore but watch out for the hords of day trippers getting off thd fish picnic boats

Much improved from last time I was here. Children's area expanded, new sports courts, more benches

Sailing holiday pop in to port don't miss out nice place

If wine touring around the island, Duboković Winery is a must stop. They allow you to try many different wines which was enjoyable to taste so many different types. For visitors, be aware that there is no sign for the winery and that the entrance is on the bottom level on the right side of the building. Knock on the door or call the number written on the door.

One of the best wine tastings I experienced! I never though I was going to taste wines in a cave/cellar. The quality of the wines are great and the Olive Oils are another level! The basil oil was sensational. Croatian wines are really good! And if you enjoy one of them you can repeat ! Highly recommend

3.5 stars. Very nice tasting ambiance tasting in a candlelit 86 year old cellar. The reservation process was ok - we just texted the phone number and got a next day spot. There were several other groups, all English speakers. Service was attentive and friendly. The €28 tasting included some bread pieces and 4 different seasoned olive oils and of course wine - 9 of them (1 rose, 3 orange, 3 reds all plavik Mali, and 2 dessert wines). Cash only. I'm torn on my review... The barrel aged Plavik mali was fascinating and I'm glad we got to try this grape in the terroir of rocky sunny cliffs. Dark fruits and vanilla abound. It was almost desert like. Tons of barrel. The orange wines were, honestly, not that great and we were disappointed. They were all very funky or acetic. The rose was acidic and light - probably decent with food but not one I would seek out. The two dessert wines were good. One very very sweet and one plavik based one much lighter.

Amazing wine tasting experience, highly recommend 12 out of 10.

Expansive wine tasting and very one note. All the wines in particular their red wines made with Plavac Mali are extremely “oaky”. The ambiance in the cellar is nice but the production feels tourist oriented with popular film and tv shows in the background rather then showcasing Croatian wine

The wine is pretty good. We did wine tasting and some of them were very nice. Service though, a bit rude really. Had a feeling of trying to push tourists through and push wine, and then on your way to free up the space for someone else. Shame really, especially when giving them money. A friendlier service, maybe a bigger plot, and has a lot of potential to be a great place.

We had a great experience tasting wonderful olive oil and organic wines in a romantic setting with candles and film music. Owner Ivo is very passionate about his wines.

15 Kuna entrance fee is totally worth it. Enjoyed the silence and refreshing temperature inside.

Beautiful!

Lovely gem away from the main tourist trail! Amazing octopus and a very tasty selection of cold meats, cheeses and fish x The waiters were super friendly and the wine superb! Will be back if we ever return to Vrboska

Very good homemade Dalmatian food, pre-ordering is required for some dishes which are also the best and worth visiting. Good selection of local wines. For non-alcoholic drinks, you only have water - mineral water and Cedevita. Have cash on you - cards are not accepted because it is a seasonal business. The appetizers are excellent, especially the cheeses, prosciutto, sardines, and shrimp. The homemade tuna pâté was also very tasty, but I would personally replace it with a more authentic fish pâté. The octopus under the bell was superb - tender with lots of vegetables and potatoes. The wines I tried and bought, I would recommend Bogdanuša and rosé. The price is appropriate.Service is homely and friendly."Keep up the good work.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had! Lovely restaurant with extremely kind and helpful staff who produced amazing local food. In particular the octopus was incredible and I would highly recommend this place!

Octopus peka was great indeed. Polite serving. Lovely place. But our experience was spoiled by seafood platter - canned, tasteless and overpriced! Confusing menu, we thought it was 200kuna but it turned out 300. Still recommend this place!

Delicious food and even better wine

Loved it! An exquisite experience from start to finish. Can't wait to come bacj next year :)

The variety of wines are incredibly good and the service provide is align with good the expectations. Absolutely recommended and to be visited every time.

It s a very special place cause of black pine that grows on the top of churche s roof.

Impossible to describe. Miracle of nature.

Our Lady of Health Church was built in 1535 at the top of Račić hill. The hill itself offers a beautiful view of Jelsa’s valley and the Port. The church has been extended twice. The west wing and the steeple were built in 1863. Legend has it that the church's altar (Pala) was made by Palma il Giovane (the Younger, 1544 - 1628). Besides the altar there are two wooden statues from the 18th century as well as a very valuable icon from the 16th century in a Renaissance frame. Our Lady of Health is the patron saint of Jelsa and its surrounding villages, guarding against various illnesses. In honor of a centuries-long tradition the villagers from the central part of the Island gather together every year on November 21 to celebrate Holy Mass. (Jelsa Heritage)

Very nice view over Jelsa from the garden of the church.

(Translated by Google) There are many churches in Croatia, but it is worth visiting due to its location. The area around the church overlooks Jelsa and you can see an interesting panorama of the area. There is also a large olive grove next to the church. (Original) Kościół jakich wiele w Chorwacji ale warto tutaj zajrzeć ze względu na jego położenie. Teren wokół kościoła góruje nad Jelsą i można zobaczyć ciekawą panoramę okolicy. Do tego przy kościele duży gaj oliwny.

(Translated by Google) Next to the church is a fortress from which they defended themselves against the invasion of the Turks in 1571. Entrance to the fortress costs only HRK 10 and be sure to see it. You can climb the small tower from which you can see the view in all directions, as well as walk along the small walls to the defensive fortress. (Original) Uz crkvu nalazi se i tvrđava iz koje su se obranili od najezde turaka 1571 god. Ulaz u tvrđavu naplaćuje se samo 10kn i svakako je pogledajte. Možete se popeti na mali toranj s kojeg puca pogled na sve strane kao i prošetati po malim zidinama do obrambene tvrđavice.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful church, with a beautiful panorama of the town of Jelsa. numerous steps to access it on foot, with little shade. (Original) Bel église, avec un beau panorama sur la ville de Jelsa. de nombreuses marches pour y accéder à pied, peu ombragées.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful old church with a bell tower, located high on the mountain. Beautiful views, you can see the whole city and part of the bay. Unfortunately, the church was closed the afternoon we were here (Original) Гарна стара церква з дзвіницею, розташована високо на горі. Гарні краєвиди, видно все місто і частину затоки.

Built in 1463 by the Radasinić brothers in Gothic style. In the second half of the 18th century the Palaversić brothers extended it by adding a new altar and west-side façade in Baroque style. (Jelsa Heritage)

(Translated by Google) A cute little Gothic-style church, tucked away from the center, reached by somewhat obscure stone steps. It's a shame that it's usually only open in May and October, as the locals say. (Original) Preslatka mala crkvica gotičkog stila, izmaknuta iz centra do koje se dolazi kamenim pomalo opskurnim stepenicama. Šteta da je u pravilu otvorena samo u svibnju i listopadu kako kažu mještani.
