Jelsa, situated in the central part of Hvar, is a welcoming place, pleasing to the eye and ready to receive any guest or traveler. Jelsa borders with the two highest peaks on the Island - St. Nikola on the west and Hum on the east. On the southern side there are three mountains - Vrh, Samotorac and Gozd, while Burkovo hill shields the northern side from the cold, northern winds.

All of the towns and villages of the Municipality of Jelsa are well protected from the wind. Sometimes the northeastern wind springs up leaving behind it fresh, clean air and bright blue skies and the most beautiful sight of a roaring sea and waves crashing against the rocks.

The Island of Hvar is known for its warm summers, mild winters and quite comfortable springs and autumns. Most of the rainfall falls in autumn along with a few, rare snowflakes that sometimes fall in winter. The rest of the year is sunny, especially the months of July and August.

In the small coastal towns you can go for long walks along the shore, however, the mountains and hills should not be overlooked. The picturesque villages have retained their primeval atmosphere, so winter or summer, all guests will find the peace and invigoration they are looking for.

The summer winds are characteristic of this region - the Levant (east wind) in the morning and the Mistral in the afternoon create a cool, refreshing breeze all day long. The beautiful nature, pleasant climate and numerous historical monuments that illustrate the interesting history of this region together with the hospitality of the people, invite you to come and visit. Once you have visited Jelsa it will always have a special place in your heart.
