Make the Most of Your Stari Grad Stay

A living chronicle of ancient Greece

Stari Grad holds the distinction of being Croatia's oldest town, founded as Pharos by Greek colonists in 384 BC. The UNESCO-protected Stari Grad Plain preserves the original agricultural grid system from that era, with stone walls dividing vineyards and olive groves in patterns unchanged for 2,400 years. Within the historic core, narrow stone alleys lead to Tvrdalj Castle, the 16th-century fortified residence of poet Petar Hektorović, where Renaissance arcades frame a seawater fishpond designed as a philosophical garden. The Dominican Monastery houses Greek inscriptions and a Tintoretto painting.

Authentic Dalmatian pace along the harbor

The palm-lined Riva waterfront serves as the town's social center, where locals and sailors gather at outdoor cafes overlooking the marina. Unlike nearby Hvar Town, Stari Grad maintains a relaxed atmosphere that appeals to travelers seeking genuine island life. Traditional konobas like Antika occupy centuries-old stone houses, serving Dalmatian specialties, while waterfront restaurants such as Kod Damira focus on fresh seafood and local wines. The town's position at the ferry terminal makes it easily accessible from Split, yet it remains refreshingly unhurried.

Exploring beyond the harbor

Regular buses connect to Hvar Town's Venetian architecture and nightlife, just 20 minutes away, while quieter villages like Jelsa and Vrboska offer additional perspectives on island life. Cycling routes through the Plain lead to agrotourism estates producing wines from ancient varietals.
