Head inland from Hvar’s coast on a private three-hour tour that pairs limestone terraces and lavender fields with a hands-on olive oil tasting. Learn how family mills press extra virgin oil and explore an abandoned 16th-century village off the main track.

You step off the narrow coastal road and the island opens: a low ribbon of terraced stone, lavender-scented wind and views that run to the Pakleni isles and the faint blue of Vis beyond. This private three-hour inland tour moves away from Hvar’s harbor bustle and inward across the “old road,” through Velo Grablje’s flowering fields, past villages and onto the Ager plain where olive groves hold the island together.
