According to an ancient legend, when

God distributed benefits, Dalmatians got

grapevine... because, at a place where

sun burns the rocks, where soil is thirsty,

where rocky ground prevails, hardly any

crop may survive. That is exactly Dalma-

tia and that is where grapevine found its

homeland.

For as early as the 4th century BC, the

Ancient Greeks brought the grape vine

to this sunny island and planted it in the

fertile plain of the ancient town Pharos.

Throughout the centuries of rich and tur-

bulent history, people on Hvar cultivated

their vineyards with great skill and care,

blessed with the lushness of Mediterra-

nean. Grapes and wine gave them safety,

food and medicine. They grew some of

the finest varieties in this area, but the

challenge still remains: how to turn this

richness and harmony into great wines.

Tour starts at 6pm. After 30 min drive you

arrive to Jelsa, small town on the north

coast of the island. It used to be one of

the most significant maritime, shipbuild-

ing and trade centres of the Adriatic,

starting point for ocean-going sailing

vessels carrying best wines of Hvar, olive

oil and salted fish to far destinations all

over the world.

Prices on page 13

10 am – 2.30 pm, light lunch in-

cluded

The starting point of the kayaking tour

is the town of Hvar. You set off to the

group of small islands called the Pak-

leni. The origin of the name goes back

to old days when the islands were the

main source of rosin for local shipbuild-

ers. Today, just like then, the islands

are covered with thick pine woods pro-

viding refreshing shade even during

the hottest summer days. Besides the

well-known

beach of Palmižana, the route through

narrow straits and along the islands

reveals to you small hidden pebble

beaches where you can enjoy the privi-

lege of having, at least temporarily, a

beach of your own. Returning back to

Hvar around 2 pm. Light lunch in a res-

taurant on the beach.

Sunset sea kayaking tour - a perfect

ending to the day (3 pm - 7 pm)

Kayak into the sunset, stop in beautiful

bays for last swim and glass of wine.

Note: Sea kayaking tours available until

A short drive along a dirt road leads

to Malo Grablje, a small village

abandoned decades ago. Upon arri-

val there will be a short walk

through that picturesque village

founded in the 16th century.

After Malo Grablje you proceed to

Velo Grablje and the next stop is

Vidikovac with such a perfect view

of the deepest bay on the island,

there the guide will tell you informa-

tion about the area, about the oldest

town in Croatia founded by ancient

Greeks and more…

After the short stop you drive to the

highest peak of the island, Saint

Nicholas (626 m). From the highest

peak of the island there is a 360 de-

gree unobstructed view of the island

and across to islands of Brač, Korčula

and Vis. Below the high point of St.

Nicholas on a sloping sunny hillside

lies Sveta Nedija, a village sur-

rounded with steep vineyards which

are very difficult to tend. It is famous

far and wide for the high quality red

wine it produces from the plavac

grape.

Driving down the hill you will be

surprised by the variety of the sun-

soaked island paradise of Hvar, ac-

cented with vineyard-covered hills,

olive groves and undulating fields of

rosemary and lavender.

You will have lunch at a tavern in the

abandoned medieval village of

Humac. The tavern with its interior in

local style, organic vegetables pro-

duction and food preparation sends

you back to lives of people from Hvar

from centuries ago. Preparation of

food in the tavern is traditional. The

most interesting is under the bell

shaped lid (“peka”) which is covered

with live coal.

For lunch you can choose: octopus,

lamb, veal or chicken with potatoes as

a side dish.

After lunch you continue along the

north coast to Vrboska where you

stop at Soline beach for a relax and a

swim.

As your Hvar Off-Road Tour comes to

an end, approximately at 6 pm, you

head back to Hvar town taking the

new road.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to

breathe underwater? If you want to find out

but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a

certification course, Discover Scuba Diving

will let you try scuba to see if you like it.

learn how to use scuba equipment in shallow

water and get a quick and easy introduction to

what it takes to explore the underwater world.

There is nothing like breathing underwater for

the very first time. It takes a little getting used

to – after all, human beings weren’t designed

to do that – but after a few minutes of awe-

struck wonder, most participants realize how

easy scuba diving really is. The fun part? It’s

all fun!

Plus, you can get credit! As our Discover

Scuba Diving program includes an actual

You will depart from the harbour to-

wards the town of Bol, located on the

southern part of Brač. Bol is the oldest

settlement on the island of Brač. Upon

arrival you will take a pleasant walk

along the seashore towards one of the

most beautiful beaches in Dalmatia –

Zlatni Rat. This beach covered with tiny,

round white pebbles offers the possibil-

ity for swimming, sunbathing and com-

plete relaxation. The day is completely

at your leisure and there will be time to

visit one of the oldest wine cellars in

Dalmatia, the Dominican monastery or

maybe have lunch in one of the many

restaurants. Return in the afternoon

hours.

Transportation and guide included

Korčula is one of the largest Adriatic is-

lands, covered with a thick pine forest

after which it was once also named –

Korkyra Melaina; the black Korcula. The

island is a mixture of various European

civilisations; Greek, Roman, Illirian and

Venetian. Upon arrival to Korčula you will

have a guided tour including visits to the

City Museum with a collection that shows

the historical, cultural and social situation

through the ages. In the Bishop's Palace

you will see a collection of Venetian and

Dalmatian icons (15.-17. centuries) and

Renaissance and Baroque drawings(16th-

19th centuries). The main attraction is cer-

tainly the cathedral of St.Mark from the

14th century. During your free time you

can pay a visit to the birth house of Marco

Polo.

After a short ride you will arrive to the

small harbour of Pomena on the Mljet is-

land. Over 70% of this island is covered

by a thick forest. A short walk will take

you to the National Park where we find

two small lakes. On the larger of the lakes

there is a small island with a Benedictine

monastery from the 12th century. Spend

your time swimming, strolling or have

lunch in one of the fine local restaurants.

Transportation, guide, entrance fees in-

cluded.

Korčula / Mljet - full day Biševo/Komiža - full day Bol - full day

The island of Vis is one of the most remote

of all Adriatic islands, an island consid-

ered to be a jewel already by the ancient

Greeks. On the remains of the old Greek

settlements we today find the towns of

Komiža and Vis. After a pleasant sail you

will arrive to the islet of Biševo, part of the

archipelago surrounding Vis. The attrac-

tion of Biševo is the «Blue Cave». The

cave is a natural phenomenon which can

be entered only by small fisherman’s'

boats. The cave itself is quite spacious

and offers an unforgettable experience

especially the light effect created by the

sun reflecting in the cave through the sea.

You continue to Komiža, who's inhabitants

are believed to be the best fishermen on

the Adriatic. So there is no surprise that

we find a Fishermen’s Museum here. The

museum itself is located in a fortified

building from the 16th century that was

used for defense against the Turks. After

the visit enjoy some free time for strolling

around or maybe a swim.
