Hvar Island: Scenic Countryside, Eastern Villages & the Art of Olive Cultivation

Depart the pier for a picturesque, approximately 75-minute journey across the island toward eastern Hvar. Renowned for enjoying more sunshine than anywhere else in Europe, Hvar reveals an ever-changing tapestry of coastal vistas, charming stone villages, and landscapes where the azure sea meets the lush greens of Mediterranean vegetation. Its crystal-clear waters, celebrated beaches, and celebrated Mediterranean cuisine all contribute to the island’s reputation for exceptional natural beauty and healthy living.

As the birthplace of organised tourism in Europe and home to the continent’s oldest public theatre, Hvar has long embraced a refined yet traditional way of life. This timeless charm is especially evident upon arrival in Bogomolje, a tranquil village nestled amid the rugged eastern countryside. Here, visits are arranged to the Radojkovic Olive Mill and the enchanting ‘Garden of Eden’.

Radojkovic Olive Mill & the ‘Garden of Eden’: A Legacy of Tradition

Meet the Radojkovic family, whose roots in olive cultivation span generations. After decades spent working in Zagreb, Mr. Radojkovic returned to his native island to rekindle the family heritage—an endeavour that now includes the care of more than 450 olive trees.

Enjoy a guided tour of the mill and learn about the time-honoured methods of olive oil production on Hvar. Continue with a leisurely stroll through the beautifully tended ‘Garden of Eden’, where a diverse collection of olive trees, Mediterranean plants, and fragrant blossoms create an atmosphere of serene natural elegance.

Your visit concludes with a curated tasting of five extra virgin olive oils, thoughtfully paired with local cheeses, freshly baked bread, anchovies, and even a unique olive-oil–infused ice cream.

After this sensorial experience, re-board your coach for the return journey to Hvar Town. A short walk brings you back to the pier and your awaiting ship.
