As you walk through the rows of flowers, notice the abundance of snail families crawling beneath. I only discovered this after accidentally stepping on a few, quite remorseful.

A picturesque lavender field adorns the hills of Hvar Island, Croatia.

Hvar Island, nestled in the Adriatic Sea, boasts gentle hills dotted with lavender. In summer, these vibrant walls of purple shimmer against the azure waters. The most enchanting stretch of lavender lies between Hvar and Grabje. Accessible only by boat due to the absence of an airport, July is the prime time to visit, coinciding with the local lavender harvest. Arriving later in the season would be regrettable, as the lavender would have been harvested by then.
