Stari Grad Plain UNESCO Cycle Tour & Winery Visit

Pedal through the Stari Grad Plain — a 2,400-year-old Greek agricultural landscape and one of Croatia's most treasured UNESCO World Heritage Sites — then cool down with a private wine tasting at a heritage estate. History, beauty, and great wine in one unforgettable morning.

What to expect

E-bikes whisk you effortlessly through the geometric patchwork of the Stari Grad Plain, where dry-stone walls (gorice) have divided the same family plots for over two millennia — a feat of agricultural continuity that UNESCO recognised in 2008. Your guide brings the Greek, Roman, and Venetian layers to vivid life as you cycle past fig trees, lavender terraces, and ancient cisterns. A stop at a small family winery tucked into the plain rewards with Bogdanuša, a rare white grape found almost nowhere else on Earth. The full sensory experience — scent of wild herbs, sea breeze, the silence of a landscape unchanged for centuries — is deeply moving.

Booking
We have not yet verified a bookable operator and price for this one.

Good to know

Stari Grad is approximately 20 km from Hvar town by road; the operator arranges transfer or can begin the tour from Stari Grad if your ship docks there. Half-day format fits comfortably within most all-aboard windows. E-bikes mean no fitness level is a barrier. Wear light layers — mornings can be breezy even in summer.
