Hvar was once the eighth largest producer of lavender in the world and is still often called the Croatian Provence today. Its blooming lavender fields are a sight to behold from May to July. Enjoy a breezy stroll through purple bushes to the distillery in Velo Grablje, where you will have the chance to gain a better understanding of how the oil is produced. Then listen to an a cappella performance in a local church, and finally - enjoy a meal of fresh local delicacies at the village square. End your day with a toast after stimulating all your senses!
