This small-group abandoned village tour takes you to a picturesque and abandoned ethno-eco village of Malo Grablje, located just 6 km away from Hvar town. Reaching the village we will walk around the village and check the abandoned ruins, as water cisterns, cooperative, church, old mill and others, until we will reach a restored family property, meet our host and try what he and his family prepared.Heading past the coastal resort from Hvar town, there lies Hvar’s most beautiful village, the abandoned ethno-eco village of Malo Grablje.
To wander around this village, abandoned in the 50’s, amidst a backdrop of cliffs, gives you an insight into authentic Dalmatia. These homes were relinquished as the locals moved to Milna, in search of a better life, and more economic stability.
The village however, is not totally abandoned. Our host has restored his family home and opened a small family restaurant, offering traditional meals prepared with ingredients found in the surrounding area of Malo Grablje. He lives only by the food and products of his zone, from wine to olive oil, rosemary, sage, capers and basil. This abandoned village is a testament to the tenacity of a strong-willed culture. Such a beautiful and tranquil setting.
After our amazing dinner will go back to Hvar town.
Menu:
Appetizer
Local cheese and smoked ham with island extra virgin olive oil, marinated fish
Main Course
Peka - traditional meal with lamb or mixed lamb and veal under the iron bell covered with the ash (octopus on request).
Dessert
Simple traditional desert with almonds
Beverage
Local wine, water, grappa - local brandy made by our host
