About This Tour

Start your experience with a friendly pickup from your hotel, apartment, or port in Hvar Town. A short panoramic drive takes you to Napoleon's Fortress, perched 250 meters above sea level, where breathtaking views open over Hvar Town, the Pakleni Islands, and the sparkling Adriatic.

From here, the journey continues along quiet inland roads lined with traditional dry-stone walls, passing fragrant lavender fields and historic villages that reflect centuries of island life.

Continue to the charming hilltop village of Brusje, where you visit a family-run estate and learn about traditional island methods of producing honey, olive oil, and lavender. Enjoy tastings of authentic local products while hearing the stories of families who have preserved these traditions.

The tour then leads to Velo Grablje, a historic stone village once known as the center of lavender production on Hvar. Walk through its quiet streets and discover Hvar's rich lavender heritage.

Next, continue toward Jelsa, where you visit a traditional lavender farm and meet local producers. Learn how lavender is carefully hand-harvested and distilled into essential oil using time-honored methods. You might even try your hand at harvesting, creating your own small contribution to Hvar's centuries-old craft.

After some time to relax and soak in the peaceful island atmosphere, the tour concludes with a comfortable drive back to Hvar Town.
