Accommodation
Maslina Resort or similar
After breakfast, check out and catch the ferry to the island of Hvar, a popular destination with tourists due to its natural setting, mild climate, and the fact that it has more UNESCO heritage "badges" than any island in the world.
Check into the hotel and then set off to explore the island – you can start with the town of Hvar.
Highlights of Hvar Town include its 13th-century walls, a hilltop fortress, and the main square anchored by the Renaissance-era Cathedral. For some of the best views of the island, Hvar Town, and the nearby Pakleni Islands, take a short walk up to the 16th-century Španjola Fortress. Treat yourself to a drink and a snack in the ancient piazza of Hvar overlooking the Venetian loggia and the oldest municipal theatre in Europe.
As the next stop on the island tour, we suggest the ancient Greek Hora, i.e. UNESCO protected Stari Grad Plain. Hora or Ager is an impressively preserved testament to the Ancient Greek period, an agricultural landscape that has remained practically intact since it was first colonized by Ionian Greeks.
After that, it's time to visit the wine cellar belonging to the Duboković family, hear the story about wine production and taste 5 wines (rose, white/orange, red, red / premium, dessert). You will also be offered some olive oils, given that they are an essential part of the island diet.
For the sweet end to the island tour, the Gamulin family will welcome you to their very special chocolate boutique. The story started with an old grandma's recipe for dried figs wrapped in sugar, a traditional Christmas treat in Dalmatia – with the sugar being replaced with chocolate, a new praline was invented and named figolini. Now the whole family is involved in making a fusion of chocolate and Mediterranean fruits and herbs which island Hvar abounds with and they are willing to share some of their secrets with you.
