Excursion Bespoke hvar tour at Hvar

Hvar Island, Scenic Drive, Local Villages, Eastern Hvar, Mediterranean Sea, Bogomolje Village

Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 75-minute drive to the eastern side of Hvar, an idyllic island with more sun than any other in Europe. Along the way, pass through local villages and areas where the blue sky and sea meet the green of the Mediterranean vegetation. Hvar’s beaches and crystal-clear waters are regularly featured in ‘Top 10’ lists, and its Mediterranean diet is a symbol of its healthy lifestyle. The birthplace of organised tourism in Europe and home to Europe’s oldest public theatre, modern Hvar retains a lifestyle steeped in tradition. Discover why upon reaching Bogomolje, a small village in eastern Hvar, where visits are made to the Radojkovic Olive Mill and ‘Garden of Eden’.

Radojkovic Olive Mill, ‘Garden of Eden’, Olive Trees, Plants, Flowers, Olive Oil Tastings

Mr. Radojkovic comes from a long line of olive growers, but, after having lived and worked in Zagreb for several decades, he returned to his native island of Hvar and the olive cultivation was sparked. His family’s tradition continues to this day, with 450 olive trees under cultivation. Upon arrival, meet the owners and take a guided tour of the olive mill. Along the way, learn about its history of olive oil production here, then take a stroll through the exquisite ‘Garden of Eden’ and marvel at your beautiful surrounds. Afterward, proceed for tasting of five extra virgin olive oils paired with cheese, bread, anchovies, and ice cream.

Lush Vegetation, Adriatic Sea, Kod Kucera Farm, Brac Island, Makarska Riviera, Goats, Donkeys

Next, re-board your coach and continue driving through the lush vegetation overlooking the beautiful Adriatic Sea en route to the Kod Kucera Family Farm. This family farm is characterised by the aromas of fresh and delicious local specialities, and stunning views of Brac Island and the Makarska Riviera. The farm’s animals roam happily and free, and eat naturally. As a result, the products derived from them are of much better quality and tastier than most of those on sale in shoppes. At this farm, traditional, time-tested recipes are utilised in the production of its products, guaranteeing a superb combination of quality, freshness, and taste. Upon arrival, meet the Kuzmicic family and take a guided tour of their farm.

Meet the Owners, Guided Farm Tour, Goats, Donkeys, Farm Tools, Tastings

Along the way, the Kuzmicic family share their proud tradition of hospitality. See and learn about their goats, donkeys, food products, and old farm tools, and share the family’s love of their farm, its animals, village of Zastražišce, and island of Hvar. Afterward, proceed for refreshments and a tasting of local specialities during a delicious lunch.

Afterward, re-board your coach for the drive to Hvar town. Upon arrival, a short walk brings you back to the pier.
