Tour description

What you'll see on this tour

Meet your specialized local guide and expert driver to begin your exclusive, private off-road adventure tour of Hvar island that takes you up through the highland plateaus of lavender fields, ancestral olive groves, stone walls and abandoned villages.

Away from the bustle of Hvar town, this is Hvar as it has been for centuries, serenely beautiful, rugged and full of fascinating history. Many inland villages on Hvar island were abandoned over the years, the inhabitants forced out by loss of liveliehood to crop disease and the lure of employment in the coastal settlements.The villages left behind are like enchanted time capsules, medieval ghost towns of traditional island life sitting in the hills backed by cliffs and slowly being swallowed up by nature. Scents of Hvar island are also well known: lavender, rosemary, sage…just to name the few of over two hundred plant species of Hvar hillside.

Sunny side of Hvar has amazing views of open seas. Vis and Bisevo being closest and Korcula and Lastovo located further away. To the south. The sunsets from Hvar are always special although each part of the day holds its special moments. Hvar is a special place. Unique from its shores to abandoned ancient houses of its interior. The roads less traveled are now those the nature claims back with tall pines and strawberry trees.

In the incredible location of the unique abandoned village of Malo Grablje, you will stop for an exclusive traditional dinner. A stunning and atmospheric setting you won’t forget. Following dinner, you will have your return transfer to Hvar town.

Unique tradition of Hvar island

Hvar island has a religous event that has been listed in the UNESCO Croatian intangible cultural heritage list . A profound tradition that has spanned nearly five centuries uninterrupted, the Catholic procession Za Križen ‘ (Following the Cross) is of particular cultural and religious significance to the identity of Hvar island, particularily for the centrally located villages of the interior . Through the night, before Good Friday , a procession led by cross bearers that come together from six villages walk 25 kilometers over the island, visiting churches and chapels, the lamentation of the Virgin Mary chanted as they walk, the procession members only returning to their respective chapels at dawn. Another unique piece of Hvar culture beyond its booming tourist industry.

Perhaps you already know, but there is a great difference between Moscow, St. Petersburg, and all other towns and cities in Russia. Visiting the countryside is a great opportunity to travel the real Russia and to see the common life of ordinary people. The best choice for a one-day Russian countryside experience is the Vladimir and Suzdal tour.

Vladimir and Suzdal are small towns that are famous worldwide because of their great history and picturesque architecture with numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sites of the 12th century. Aside from golden cupolas of stunning churches and monasteries, you will experience a very rural real Russian outlook with bubbling streams and grassy meadows, chickens and livestock, and interesting and authentic local residents. All are a common sight on the streets, some of which remain unpaved. Be ready for a full-day trip and many unforgettable experiences during your Russian holidays!

•Road-tripping from Moscow to St. Petersburg

•Ecotour along the Volga River with visiting limestone quarries

•Real Russian countryside

•One day in a traditional Russian village

There is a great difference between Moscow, St. Petersburg, and all other Russia... The concept of this tour is to show you the real Russia with numerous small towns, pristine nature, abandoned churches and the life of people.

This tour does not include Golden Ring towns! Instead, you will see Staritsa town and Novgorod the Great, beautiful places to visit in Russia!

We will also visit an elderly couple living in a traditional Russia village. We will help them with their daily work - plowing the land (not by tractors, but by horses), caring for the livestock and cooking food in a traditional Russian oven… And surely we will taste some real fresh milk and eggs while they will be telling us about their common life, their habits, and the households.

The itinerary is perfect for those who are going to St. Petersburg. It takes only 4 hours to get there from Novgorod by a cheap local train.
