Pathways to an ancient culture that still thrives today...

Many of the island's greatest natural treasures are hidden or inaccessable to the common tourist. Suncokret's island host, Stipe, ensures that this will not happen to you!

Our safaris tours will transport you to the most sacred, unspoiled sanctuaries to be found on Hvar Island, while town outings will highlight the most impressive spots in our treasure-filled waterfront towns. The combination of our tours, complimented by your own leisure time exploration, will immerse you in our island's culture in every possible way.

Produce-Picking in the Stari Grad Plain:
Every Tuesday, we set out to visit our very own olive grove, vinyard and vegetable plot in the Stari Grad Plain. This trip will introduce you to traditional farming practices, indiginous and domesticated flora and fauna. The visit will reveal an impressive cultural landscape that has remained practically intact since it was first colonized by Ionian Greeks from Paros in the 4th century BC. The original agricultural activity of this fertile plain, mainly centering on grapes and olives, has been maintained since Greek times to the present. The site is also a natural reserve. The landscape features ancient stone walls and trims, or small stone shelters, and bears testimony to the ancient geometrical system of land division used by the ancient Greeks, the chora which has remained virtually intact over 24 centuries. Learn more at UNESCO heritage website.

Town Outings

Several times weekly, you will have the opportunity to join us for informal outings to the most notable waterfront towns on the island.

Town outings provide the opportunity to explore fortresses, monasteries, museums, archeological sights, boutiques, galleries on your own.

After a brief introduction to the town, you will be able to explore whatever you fancy, or simply chill out in a local cafe, try out local delicasies in the numerable restaurants and "konobas", or pay a visit to an internet cafe to catch up with friends back home.

During the evenings, you are free to venture out into town on your own to enjoy a stroll along the moonlit waterfront promenade, and enjoy street performances and other local festivities.

"It is very hard to leave this little sunny paradise. Thank you for going above and beyond to show us such a wonderful time, for showing us such beautiful hidden treasures; the magic of the history, culture and cuisine, of Hvar life." - Tania & Rob, Canada
