May, June, and September give warm water without August crowds. In July, an early boat helps you claim anchorage near the Pakleni Islands.
Yes on a six or seven hour boat day. The skipper anchors at Palmižana or Vino Griško for a swim, then drops you in Hvar town for lunch.
Hvar town is small on foot. The fortress climb takes about 20 minutes and the view is worth it.
