Stari Grad on the island of Hvar is one of the oldest towns in Europe (founded by the Ancient Greeks in 384 BC).
It’s the historical, cultural, and emotional heart of the island—with a completely different vibe from Hvar Town.

There’s no glamorous nightlife tempo here like in Hvar. This is meditative, elegant, cultural, authentic Dalmatia.

The character of Stari Grad

• stone alleys, Venetian houses, and quiet waterfronts
• the ancient Stari Grad Plain (UNESCO) — a remarkably preserved Greek agricultural landscape
• peaceful rivieras with konobas, local wines, and long evenings by the sea
• authentic local island life

Stari Grad breathes slowly.
You stay for long dinners, reading by the sea, exploring history, and enjoying Bogdanuša and other indigenous Hvar wine varieties.

Highlights

• Tvrdalj of Petar Hektorović — the poet’s fortified Renaissance residence
• Stari Grad Museum — the original story of ancient Pharos
• seaside paths along the bays — perfect for long morning and evening walks
• nearby coves and hidden beaches — turquoise water, pine-scented silence, pure chill

• lovers of culture, history, and the authentic Mediterranean
• couples who want romance without crowds
• yachting guests who like culture + peace
• travellers seeking an elegant, quiet holiday in premium nature

Stari Grad is Hvar’s land of roots and history—a destination of quiet beauty, authentic Dalmatian life, and subtle luxury grounded in deep Mediterranean tradition.
