<\/figure>\n\n\n\n Our Hvar has proudly established itself on a list that includes total of 936 monuments in 153 countries, of which there are 725 cultural monuments, 183 nature monuments and 28 monuments on both kind .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of Hvar\u2019s symbols made it to the list, so make them an inevitable point of your itinerary \u2013 experience our sunniest island as UNESCO sees it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n EXPLORE IMPRESSIVE LANDSCAPE THAT RESISTS THE RAVAGES OF TIME. Starigrad field, which was 7th<\/sup> location in Croatia to be included in UNESCO list, in 2008, together with old city core Of Stari Grad has the best-preserved cadastral division on the Mediterranean. Namely, it is basic architecture that stayed more or less untouched for no less than – 24 centuries <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is\ncharacterised by rectangular fields framed with drywalls, where in ancient\ntimes even wheat used to be grown! Enjoy the view of olive groves on low\nslopes, fragrant round bushes of lavender, green branchy rosemary bushes, and\nof course, sweet and healthy grapes, which give the best red wines in Dalmatia!\nThis impressive landscape is best to be explored within one of theme tours \u2013 we\nlike the cycling ones with attractive tastings included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TREAT\nYOURSELVES WITH A TRULY UNIQUE SOVENIER, a fruit of dedicated and long labour\nof Hvar\u2019s Benedictine nuns \u2013 agave lace!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The process of making this lace is truly very demanding \u2013 from a fresh agave leaf threads are being taken and processed in a specific way until ready for use. Since there is no pattern to be followed, each lace is completely unique, a result of imagination and creativity of the lace-maker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is so appreciated that it often serves as a gift in state visits (for example, it was given to Pope John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis). Usually it is kept framed like an art piece, as it actually is! Agave lace mustn\u2019t be wet, ironed or washed, but if kept carefully it can last for a very long time \u2013 there are even 100 years old specimens \u2013 buy, or at least see specimens of this gentle, magic handicraft!<\/p>\n\n\n\n ENJOY IN MEDITERRANEAN DIET\u2026AND KLAPA PERFORMANCES. This will especially gladden gastronomads \u2013 is there a better way to \u2018round up\u2019 healthy and tasty Mediterraean dinne than enjoying in harmonious sounds of klapa (a cappela group) singing? Idyllic Hvar\u2019s restaurants are aware of this beautiful synergy, so not rarely will your attractive fish menu, together with olive oil and aromatic herbs, be spiced up with performances of local klapa groups!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skills, knowledge and customs tied to healthy and tasty Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes values of hospitality, intercultural dialogue and creativity, made it a part of UNESCO list of intangible world heritage in 2013; while klapa multipart singing, recognizable for its characteristic harmony, melody and internal musical structure, was included on the very same list a year earlier. To the joy of all gourmets, these two items that nurture body and soul blend perfectly – reach out for a dose of Hvar\u2019s hedonism with UNESCO mark!<\/p>\n\n\n\n JOIN PROCESSION \u201cZA KRI\u017dEN\u201d (FOLLOWING THE CROSS) \u2013 TRUE EXPRESSION OF HVAR\u2019S AUTHENTICITY. The extent to which Hvar is a specific island can be experienced in pre-Easter time, and if you ask us, it is Hvar that is one of the most interesting locations for spending the biggest Christian holiday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Apart from great Easter food (from sirnice <\/em>and all sorts of Easter cakes decorated with colourful eggs in local homes, to cooked ham and eggs Benedict in luxurious offer of the restaurants), great motivation for a visit is procession \u201cZa kri\u017een\u201d, which has been held constantly for 5 centuries, and as such was included on UNESCO list of intangible heritage in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Being a part of the procession is a unique spiritual experience that will please the hearts of religious tourism enthusiasts, but also of all believers who want to celebrate the biggest Christian holiday in a very specific way. The procession starts at the same time in six different places (Jelsa, Pitve, Vrisnik, Svir\u010de, Vrbanj and Vrboska), with a mass of believers, cross-holder who sometimes has to wait to get that honour for even 20 years and chosen singers that perform the most important part of the procession \u2013 passion text from 15th<\/sup> century \u2013 Our Lady\u2019s Weep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More: www.dalmatia.hr<\/a> EXPERIENCE OUR SUNNIEST ISLAND THE WAY UNESCO SEES IT!
