or even to the important moments of the world history..
After my short visit to Hvar town it was time to move on to my main destination in the island of Hvar, Stari Grad. Make sure that when you hop on to Stari Grad bus in Hvar town, you choose the bus which is driving via old road. This bus ride from Hvar town to Stari Grad is offering some great views around the island while the bus is driving in small mountain roads through the lavender fields.
Stari Grad is located next to the peaceful bay of Adriatic Sea and town is built around the bay. Immediately when I arrived there I liked the atmosphere of the town. It feels like time has stopped in this small town, which is oldest one in Croatia. Or actually one of the oldest ones in whole Europe. There aren’t big tourist attractions in the town, but it’s a great place to explore the outdoors of island. As most of the tourists visiting the island are staying in Hvar town and just passing through Stari Grad, the atmosphere here is more peaceful and it’s ideal place to enjoy summer days and evenings in peaceful surroundings. For me small island towns like Stari Grad are definitely my favourite thing in Croatia!
I arrived to island of Hvar early in the morning. Morning ferry from Korcula town to Hvar is leaving early and as the ferry trip is not too long, the Hvar town is still mainly sleeping when morning ferry arrives to the harbour. Although Hvar town wasn't my final destination in the island, I wanted to spend half day there. So after ferry arrived, I was heading to local bus station and left my luggage to their luggage storage. After that I started to explore the silent and peaceful streets of Hvar town. During those morning hours I was seeing how this small town was slowly waking up and that was providing me the possibility to see another side of the town. Another side of this town which is mainly known as a popular holiday place among jet set. It's known as a place where people are arriving to with their big and fancy boats, and it is also known from its parties. But due those few morning hours which I spent in Hvar town, my memories of this town are totally different...
