2. Stari Grad
Located 20 minutes by car from Hvar Town, Stari Grad is quieter, and has cheaper accommodation than Hvar Town. Stari Grad is a better stay than in Hvar town if you want a quieter, less touristy and more authentic area.
Hvar’s third ferry port is Star Grad which sits at the top of a cove in the northwest of the island. Stari Grad means ‘’old town’’ and this is one of the oldest towns on the island, indeed in the whole region. The Greeks colonized it in the 4th Century BC and you will still see references to Faros, the place the Greeks departed from to reach Hvar Island.
If you want a place to relax but still have good facilities for holidaymakers, Stari Grad is a place to investigate closely. Most of the cafes, bars, restaurants, shops, and ice cream shops are in the harbor and marina district. The nighttime atmosphere tends to be very pleasant and fairly quiet.
The beach is nearby but it is a concrete surface although sunbathers still seem to use it in numbers. There are more traditional beaches around the headland that have a backdrop of pine-forested slopes.
If you love history and architecture, walk around the cobblestone alleys running off a number of small squares. Bougainvilleas provide the splash of color amidst the old buildings. The old town walls, a villa from Roman times and 2 Illyrian forts are among the places of interest.
The Greek tower on the Stari Grad Plain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008, is also worth a mention. The Field of Pharos is an agricultural landscape, home to lavender fields, olive groves vineyards, and working farms.
The Hora Winery offers a unique wine and olive tasting experience. If you like cycling, you can spend a day adventure by renting a bike and riding from Stari Grad to Vrboska, a 6km route through the Stari Grad Plain.
If churches are your thing, Stadi Grad has 9 of them. The Church of St. John is on a site that was first developed in the 5th Century. Several of the churches are very old with modern additions in the 18th or 19th Centuries. The old Dominican monastery, established in 1482, was damaged by the Turks, and later fortified with two round towers.
The 16th century Tvrdalj Castle and the Stari Grad Museum in Palace Blankini are interesting. In the museum, you will see a reconstruction of an old Greek shipwreck, an art collection, relics from Stari Grad Plain, and the 19th Century Captain’s Room.
The Mausoleum of Sime Ljubica and the old windmill on the harbor are other points of interest.

Loated to the east of Jelsa and Zavala, Zastražišće is a village of just 200 people so few holiday destinations offer a better chance for a quiet holiday taking in typical Greek village life. There’ll be no tourist crowds if you choose Zastrazisce as your base. Even those 200 live in stone cottages that are spread out over a wide area.
Zastrazisce sits at around 700 feet above sea level thereby giving you great views over the area. You will find just one restaurant, a single shop, a school, and two churches. The closest place of any size is Jelsa, 13 miles away by road.
The locals of Zastrazisce traditionally made their living from agriculture. In years gone by, livestock was the main activity but today it is olives, oranges, and lavender that provide the income for the families. Tourism makes a small contribution. You should probably hire a car if Zastrazisce is your preferred choice as a base.
You may just park up for several days but it is always nice to be able to explore further afield. You could of course cycle if you are fit enough to do it. Several coves and bays are worth a visit, both on the north and south sides of Hvar. Remember Hvar Island is no wider than 6 miles at any point.
The village of Humac and Grapceva Cave with its impressive stalagmites and stalactites are of interest without having to start the car. Rather than man-made landmarks, the highlight of the village is an olive tree that is over 2,000 years old.
Not surprisingly, there are no hotels in the village. Stone cottages that have been modernized are the option.
Stay in Zastrazisce if you want peaceful and relax holiday.

Its pebbled beach sits below hills covered with pine trees with the hypnotic scents from lavender and rosemary fields adding to its appeal. It is definitely a place for tourists wanting to relax.
Even the journey from Jelsa, the best ferry port for you if you want to stay here, is delightful. The road goes through a small village, Pitve, and a long and narrow tunnel which is controlled by traffic lights because it is a single lane and unlit.

Gdinj is almost 20 miles east of Hvar Town, past both Humac and Zastrazisce. It is a village where settlement started in the 16th Century with tiny hamlets amalgamating into a single village of old stone cottages. It is regularly described as a place where time has stood still but who says that is a bad thing?
Its population of 100 either works in the fields or run a small number of shops, bars, and restaurants. Some of the old cottages are deserted but others have been modernized to provide accommodation for visitors. Accommodation options are converted studios and apartments with a few local houses also available to rent.
At one time, Gdinj was much bigger, with a population of around 800. Socio-economic conditions changed that with people gravitating to larger places. While tourism is very welcome, it is unlikely to result in much population growth, certainly not back to the previous levels.
Although there is a bus service between Hvar Town and Gdinj, realistically, if you want to stay here, you should rent a car on arrival from your ferry. Once in Gdinj, you can enjoy the tranquility and the sunshine. Incidentally, Gdinj is located at almost 1,200 feet. You have lovely views of islands on either side of Hvar, north and Brac, and south to Korcula.
Amenities are simple and basic with some services only available in the nearest larger settlement. In this case, it is Jelsa. The few bars and restaurants are the sum total of nightlife alternatives but staying in Gdinj is about other things. You can buy all your basic needs locally if you want to do some self-catering.
The beaches, indeed the coastal area in general and the pine forests make for a beautiful setting. The Church of St. George, which was built in the 16th Century, is the man-made highlight of Gdinj. It is 5 minutes out of Gdinj, built in Renaissance-Baroque style.

Milna sits in a small bay 6km from Hvar Town on the southwest coast. Its attractions are largely by day with anyone wanting nightlife finding it less than 3 miles away in the island’s capital. Its popularity with tourists suggests it has the right formula.
Its origins are in the 16th Century with Baroque architecture still in evidence in the western end of the village. The mansion belonging to the Ivanic family is surely the best example and you can stay there. It is a boutique hotel today.
Lavender is an important crop in Hvar and as far back as the 17th Century, this region was famous for the oil that was exported from other parts of Europe, notably Paris. Tourism has not resulted in the village losing its essence. There are as many restaurants as bars that servers the local cuisine, fresh fish, and homemade olive oil.

The fishing village of Sucuraj is at the extreme eastern end of Hvar Island. It is surrounded by the Adriatic sea and Biokova hills.
The smallest town in Hvar Island is the closest point to the Croatian mainland. There is a ferry link to Drvenik on the mainland that only takes around half an hour, and runs 12 to 20 times a day in a high season from June to September. Only if you intend to stay at the eastern end of Hvar Island would you take this ferry.
While it is thought that Sucuraj was first settled in the 14th Century, there is no physical evidence for you to see. Augustine monks built a monastery with no accurate information on the date it was built. Rebuilding has been a regular occurrence, the first in 1309, the last in 1994.
Venetians built a Venetian fortress Fortica in the 17th Century. They also built the Church of St. Anthony which is still there today. However, what you see is a rebuild after the original was destroyed in the 19th Century. The old lighthouse is worth a visit, as is the Church of St. Jure.
There is a reasonable choice of bars and restaurants in Sucuraj with shops selling all you might need. It is a typical Adriatic village with stone buildings, twisting, and narrow alleyways. You should explore the many bays and coves, found both on the north side and the south side of Hvar.
The beaches and shallow waters are great for youngsters if you decide that you do not need loads of facilities for a family holiday. The most popular beaches and coves are Perna cove on the south side, Mlaska cove on the north side, Česmica, and Bilina sandy beaches.
You can explore by hiking or cycling or simply take gentle strolls. The small fishing fleet ensures that the restaurants have fresh fish every day. You can go to the sea yourself, visiting any of the small islands nearby.
In terms of accommodation, there is a choice of studios, apartments, in motor camp as well as houses, many offering great views over the harbor and the beaches. Sucuraj is not for everyone and the locals would agree but it can offer a memorable holiday for those wanting something a little different.
