Starry Stari Grad

Stari Grad harbour

Lunch in the lane
Simply translated, it means “Old Town” and it was originally the capital of Hvar until the 13th century.

We leave Hvar today for the island of Korcula but our ferry does not depart until 6 pm so we are spending the day at Stari Grad, a 30 minute bus ride from Hvar town. Our bus trip took 1 hour as we went via the Stari Grad ferry port, a few km before we arrived at the old town.

Stari Grad does not have the hordes of tourists and has not changed much since the Venetians ruled it. We wandered round the old port and visited several churches, museums and old historic houses it is the sort of place that you could spend 1 hour or a lifetime.

At the time of typing this blog, we are sitting in a small outdoor restaurant in one of the little narrow lanes just back from the port Our chicken was stuffed with ham and cheese and so are we!

We are catching the 2.30 pm bus back to Hvar Town to pick up our bags, hopefully post this and catch our ferry to Korcula.
