In Hvar Town itself, a combination of Renaissance palaces, ancient monasteries and an elegant marina, has created one of the most chic resorts on the Adriatic Sea. The town is best known for its medieval buildings which are the legacy of Venetian rule. On your walking tour, visit the old theatre, built in 1612, the arsenal, and the old patrician palaces from the 15th century.

This afternoon, journey along the coast of the island to the villages in the central area which have a long tradition of viticulture and winemaking. Throughout the centuries, people on Hvar cultivated their vineyards with great skill and care, blessed with the warm Mediterranean climate. Some of the finest grape varieties are grown in this area, but it still remains a challenge to turn this agricultural bounty into great wines. The wines from this area have the reputation of being the best of Hvar, with the Plavac red being especially favoured.
