Hvar - Stari Grad Coat of Arms

Stari Grad on the island of Hvar is one of the oldest cities in Europe, founded by Greeks from the island of Paros in the Aegean Sea, so they named the entire island Pharos. Its position at the end of a long and protected bay, with rich island fields, since ancient times planted with vineyards and olive groves, has long been attractive for human settlement. The oldest part of Stari Grad is part of the UNESCO World Heritage and under its protection. Traditional architecture has remained very well preserved in the old town, and its residents by adaptation of ancient stone houses offer modern apartments in the spirit of past times, a successful blend of modernity and tradition. Stari Grad is the ideal starting point for exploring the sunniest island in the Adriatic, and nearby you will also find the town of Hvar with its many amenities.
