Hvar has a well worn reputation for its wild nightlife.
The tiny Croatian island lures partying tourists with its round-the-clock clubs and bars.
But officials are clamping down on wild behaviour, with hefty new fines for minor offences.
The campaign, called ‘Save Your Money and Enjoy Hvar’, has been launched by newly-elected mayor Rikardo Novak.
Most expensive of the fines is for public drinking, which costs tourists up to €700 (£623) each.
Anyone walking around the beach island in a swimsuit could be fined up to €600 (£534).
Shirtless holidaymakers could pay a penalty of €500 (£445).
Speaking about the town’s problem with young tourists, Mr Novak told media last month: “They are vomiting in town, urinating on every corner, walking without T-shirts … crawling around, unconscious.
“Young tourists are welcome, but they will have to learn how to behave here.”
The party island is a regular stop on the infamous sailing yacht weeks, which attract hordes of young tourists every year.
Croatia is in the midst of a tourism boom, with over 1,000 islands and islets off the picturesque Adriatic coastline.
The country reported 16 million visitors last year alone.
According to Croatia’s tourist board, UK overnight visitors spiked by 26 per cent to 3.3 million in 2016 and this rate is expected to soar again this year.
It’s not the only country to introduce tough new fines on tourists to stamp out unruly behaviour.
Majorca’s party strip of Magaluf has clamped down on boozy Britons this summer with 64 new laws.
They range from ‘minor’ – which carries a €100 to €599 fine – to the ‘very serious’ which can land a fine of a whopping €3,000.
