July 12, 2023 – Explore Croatia’s premier island with the comfort of a concierge service to bring you discoveries beyond the beach with Suncani Hvar concierge.
The beaches are perfect, the nightlife vibrant, but how to get beyond the obvious on the island of Hvar and maximise your holiday experience in Paradise? Here are three fabulous ideas for an unforgettable day with the Suncani Hvar concierge service.
Learn and Prepare the Secrets of the UNESCO Mediterranean Diet
No island on the planet has more UNESCO heritage than Hvar (6 in total), and 2023 sees the 10th anniversary of Hvar’s Mediterranean diet being inscribed as UNESCO Intangible Heritage.
This is an island of indigenous grape varieties and fresh, flavoursome seasonal produce, whose colours and tastes are light years away from the supermarkets back home. Come and discover not only the flavours and dishes, but also how to prepare them yourself with this excellent Cook and Taste from Garden to Table cooking class.
Pick your very own vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices from an organic, ecological garden! Prepare and cook Dalmatian delicacies from appetizers to main courses such as “Hvarska gregada or brudet”. In addition you will make delicious homemade desserts. These cooking classes take place in a secluded olive grove and incorporate local food, domestic recipes, the best wines, olive oil and homemade drinks. Learn more here.
Sail around Hell and Paradise at the Same Time
Is it possible to visit Paradise and Hell at the same time? On Hvar, all things are possible, and a sailing tour around the Pakleni Islands, rightfully regarded as one of the top sailing destinations on the Adriatic, will offer you just that.
There is some debate about the origins of the meaning of Paklinski Otoci, with one theory that it originates from the Croatian word ‘pakao’, which means hell. If this is Hell, then what does Paradise look like?
The specially-designed Paklinski Islands Sailing Tour is one of the most popular choices for guests, as they are able to discover the entire archipelago. Paklinski islands are situated just across from Hvar and are very well known for their beauty, stunning nature and amazing beaches. Learn more here.
A Safari Back in Time and Tradition
While the beach is understandably the most popular attraction on the Dalmatian islands, reserve a little time to explore the island inland – a totally different and very rewarding experience.
The full-day Offroad Jeep Safari is one of the most interesting tours on the island, and one which will take you back in time, as well as expose you to exceptional nature, traditions and stories from the past. Two of the undoubted highlights are visits to the totally abandoned villages of Malo Grablje (all inhabitants moved to the coast to Milna in the 1960s, taking their dead with them from the village cemetery), and the lavender village of Velo Grablje, which had a population of just 5 some fifteen years ago, but is undergoing a remarkable renaissance. Find out why as you wander through its aromatic fields. Learn more here.
