Greetings from Sinisa. Hvar is where I was born and brought up by my wonderful parents. I have been working in the tourism and hotel industry for more than 15 years, and I have a great amount of experience and knowledge to share with you. At a certain point of time I decided to start my own business, and this is how my travel agency appeared. It is called Secret Hvar, because I firmly believe that the island of Hvar contains millions of secrets, which we are eager to reveal for you.
