HUMAC & GRAPCEVA CAVE
9:00 Breakfast
10:00 – Transfer to Humac, once a shepherds' settlement, which
is located 7 km east from Jelsa, 350 m above sea level and
offers a bird’s
eye view of the valleys and headlands on the west side of
the Island, yet also providing a view of the Island of Brac and the coastline
of Makarska. The houses of Humac are well preserved, simple and made
of stone. They belong to a unique rural type of architecture and are
therefore considered as being an ethnographic monument. From Humac we
will hike to Grapceva Cave, the cradle of Hvar's culture and civilization.
The cave is one of the prehistoric findings dating back to the New Stone
Age (Neolithic Period) 5000 - 4000 years BC and one of the
oldest discoveries in the Adriatic and the Mediterranean. It is situated
239 m above sea level and was the cultish place of a Neolithic Islander.
The cave consists of a small hall (13,5 x 5 m) and a larger one (22 x
23 m) surrounded by hallways and chambers. The towering stalactites and
stalagmites that decorate the cave resemble an ancient organ and along
with the absolute silence and solitude of the cave offer a magnificent
and unforgettable sight.
Dinner at the pansion.

ST.NIKOLA – HIGEST PEAK OF
THE ISLAND
9:00 Breakfast
9:30 trekking tour to the peak of St. Nikola. We will transfer
you to the starting point of the hiking tour. The hiking
tour leads you through olive groves and vineyards following
ancient paths treaded by locals who still cultivate their
land in the same way their ancestors used to do. It is
difficult to imagine how much effort and hard work is required
to grow grapes in vineyards on steep slopes going all the
way from the sea surface to the top. The trail takes us
along the old road made of stone blocks which was once
the only communication between the South and the North
side of the island.
When you reach the peak of Sveti Nikola
at 636 m above the sea level, you will have a wonderful
view of all the surrounding islands. On the way down you
will stop at beautiful cave and finally arrive in the village
of Sveta Nedjelja. Since we continue along seaside there
would be chance for swimming in one of beautiful bays on
the way.
Dinner at the pansion.
Hiking: 5 h

HVAR TOWN AND SAILING TO PAKLENI ISLANDS
8:00 Breakfast
9:00 Transfer to Hvar. We will spend our morning exploring
Hvar town. At 12:00 we sail out on our sailing boats, to
the group of small islands called the Pakleni. The origin
of the name goes back to old days when the islands were
the main source of rosin for local shipbuilders. Today,
just like then, the islands are covered with thick pine
woods providing refreshing shade even during the hottest
summer days. Besides the well-known beach of Palmižana,
the route through narrow straits and along the islands reveals
to you small hidden pebble beaches where you can enjoy the
privilege of having, at least temporarily, a beach of your
own.

VELO & MALO GRABLJE

Velo Grablje - Once a rich and advanced township of industrious
people who, other than production of good wine, olive oil
and honey, were known as the greatest lavender oil producers
in Europe. Today Grablje is almost abandoned with only a dozen permanent
residents. We would visit Motokit – higest
peak of western part of the island, Babina cave and Malo Grablje.
Beatiful scenery of deep canyon and architecture of Malo Grablje certainly
