Some islands are meant to be explored slowly. Hvar is one of them. On this private full-day tour, see the island's natural beauty, history, hidden corners and authentic traditions with a local guide who grew up here.
Pickup from your hotel, apartment or port, then a scenic drive to Napoleon's Fortress, 250m above Hvar Town, with panoramic views over the Pakleni Islands and the Adriatic. Travel quiet inland roads past lavender fields, vineyards and stone villages: Velo Grablje, once the heart of European lavender production, and abandoned Malo Grablje, with roofless stone houses and a preserved 1894 olive mill.
Next, Stari Grad, one of Croatia's oldest towns: visit Tvrdalj Castle and stroll...
