Dining Experiences in Dalmatia

Situated just four miles (6 km) away from Hvar town, the abandoned village of Malo Grablje presents a striking picture with its stone houses and streets. This 3-hour tour takes you through the rustic and historic town ruins. In this peaceful setting overlooking Milna bay, learn about the town's exodus of residents, and meet one of the families that has restored a home and opened a restaurant. Settle in for a delicious, authentic Dalmatian 3-course dinner before you're returned to Hvar.

One of the most telling ways to get to know another culture is through its food. This dinner excursion will do just that. After getting picked up at your hotel, head up to towering Mt. Srā‘ for a jaw-dropping view of the Old Town and beyond. Then arrive in a local country restaurant. Upon entering, sip a glass of locally made rakija, a Balkan brandy, and indulge in a local prosciutto and cheese, veal and potatoes.

Escape Dubrovnik for a while on this delicious 4-hour tour to enjoy a boat ride and a meal at Villa Ruza, located on the island of Kolocep. Drink in the Adriatic views during the 30-minute boat ride from Dubrovnik and then take delight in the verdant island of Kolocep. Indulge in a hearty Dalmatian meal at the acclaimed restaurant Villa Ruza, built in the 1930s, before hopping back on the boat for Dubrovnik.
