Top Hvar How to Get Around - page 4

Discover the old town of Hvar! Claiming to be the sunniest spot in all of Europe, the Croatian island of Hvar is your perfect destination: pathways lined with lavender vines lead to secluded coves, small fishing villages and local vineyards, while the ferries and catamarans carry visitors across the calm, blue waters to the surrounding islands, all worthy of exploration. Hvar is the longest of all the Croatian islands and is home to three towns. The largest of these, also named Hvar, served as an important harbor for the Venetian Adriatic fleet from the late 12th century through most of the 18th century. To remind us of its former importance, Hvar houses a thick-walled fortress overlooking the harbor and, in the very heart of the port, a large Arsenal, an imposing building built in 1611.

Join me on a journey through the landscapes, traditions, and wines of Hvar. I work the land myself — growing grapes, producing olive oil, and harvesting lavender — so this experience goes beyond sightseeing and offers a genuine glimpse into island life. After a short walk through Hvar Town’s historic streets, we drive into the island’s rural heart along scenic roads surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and quiet villages. Along the way, we stop at panoramic viewpoints that reveal the landscapes where Hvar’s wines are born. The tour ends at a small family-run winery where you’ll taste authentic local varieties such as Bogdanjuša, Drnjekupa, Prč, and Mali Plavac — wines shaped by the island’s sun, sea breeze, and generations of tradition.

This is not a panoramic bus ride between viewpoints. It’s a slow journey across the island as locals understand it — through villages, landscapes, and stories that explain how people actually lived here. I was born on Hvar, and this experience follows the island’s real timeline: ancient settlements, farming traditions, migration, and modern life. By the end, guests don’t just see Hvar — they understand it. We’ll visit Hvar town, Stari Grad, and Jelsa—villages like Brusje, Selca, and Vrisnik. We'll take a scenic route so beautiful that even locals pause to admire it. Along the way: lavender fields, olive groves, and stunning views you’ll never forget. In Stari Grad, after our guided walk, you can enjoy free time and lunch, or I can reserve a traditional “peka” meal for you: meat or octopus slow-cooked under an iron bell. For a "peka" reservation, please get in touch with me directly. We end in Jelsa, a cozy fishing town with the island’s creamiest ice cream and amazing apple cake.
