Travel Spotlight: Hvar, Croatia

In an article by Forbes on Top Party Cities of the World, I came across this tidbit on Hvar, Croatia.  I've not yet been lucky enough to explore this tiny country, but this blurb makes it sound super worthwhile:
Tiny streets are lined with restaurants while sun-kissed crowds unwind at sensuous bars like harbor-front Carpe Diem in this culturally-rich Croatian town. By day, the breathtaking landscape teeming with lavender fields and olive trees provides a Mediterranean haven for backpackers and fashionistas alike.
 Lavender fields and olive trees?  Mediterranean haven?  Yes, yes, and yes.
