Bicycle Tour

This guided bicycle tour will take you through the fragrant trails of Hvar to ancient fishing villages, as you depict your way through the centuries of living.

Your Experience begins in the ancient town of Stari Grad, exploring the island's north side. Cycling through the storied streets of Hvar's oldest capital, you will trace through centuries of history.

From the central part of town, you will follow the ancient trail of the Greek Hora, i.e. the UNESCO protected Stari Grad Plain. This cultural landscape has remained practically intact since it was first colonised by Ionian Greeks from Paros in the 4th century BC. The original agricultural activity of this fertile plain, mainly centering on grapes and olives, has been maintained since Greek times to the present. The site is also a natural reserve. The landscape features ancient stone walls and trims, or small stone shelters, and bears testimony to the ancient geometrical system of land division used by the ancient Greeks, the chora, which has remained virtually intact over 24 centuries.

Through the fragrant trails of Hvar, we set out towards one of the most beautiful harbours of the Adriatic, Vrboska. This small fishing village, located in a deep-set inlet and interconnected by numerous bridges, will surely remain one of the most beautiful memories of your Hvar vacation.

Through the aromatic dense pine forest, you will move on towards Jelsa where you will stop for a cup of coffee in the relaxing ambience of the historic main square.

After Jelsa, continue on to the heartland through many vineyards and olive groves. The Experience concludes back in Jelsa after a total route of 27 km.
