More About Stari Grad

Stari Grad is a small town on the northern side of the island of Hvar in Dalmatia, Croatia. Its municipality has a population of 2,817 (2001), of which 1,906 are in the town itself.

Stari Grad, literally Old Town, is the place of the oldest human settlement on the island, and one of the first of all the Adriatic islands. It was settled during antiquity, first by an indigenous Hvar culture and later by the ancient Greeks. The same year - 384 b.c. when Greek philoshoper Aristotel was born in Trakia, the Greeks from the island of Paros in Agean sea have settled the town on the island of Hvar, and named it Pharos.

Stari Grad is the main sea port on the island of Hvar; most visitors arrive here via car ferries from Split.

Stari Grad is very beautiful and warm during the summer months.

Stari Grad Tourism

Most people just rush through Stari Grad on the way to Hvar Town because Stari Grad is near the main ferry station on Hvar Island. Don't rush so fast, you will only notice what you missing!

Stari Grad has a lot to offer, especially for history buffs. Curving around a pretty bay, Stari Grad is one of Croatia's oldest towns, dating back to 385BC when it was a Greek colony called Faros. You'll see the name on innumerable street signs and businesses around town. (See more on the History of Hvar Island). Although there's not much for beach buffs, Stari Grad is a peaceful place with several interesting sights.

Stop in at the Dominican monastery, founded in 1482 and damaged by the Turks in 1571. The monastery has an old library, archives and an archaeological collection. Notice the painting, The Interment of Christ by Tintoretto and two paintings by Gianbattista Crespi. On the main altar is a 17th-century crucifix. Nearby in the church of St Nicolas is a wooden Baroque altar with statues of saints carved in the 17th century.

The most outstanding building in Stari Grad is Tvrdalj, a large and well preserved fortified castle once belonging to the noted Croatian poet, Petar Hektorovic. It has a fish pond and a 16th-century tower. Notice the Latin and Croatian inscriptions in the walls. In front of the castle is a statue of Petar Hektorovic.

Stari Grad is also substantially cheaper than staying in Hvar Town, whether you choose private accommodation or hotels. The hotels are all located on the northern edge of town in a vast complex with beaches nearby.

Stari Grad is connected to Hvar Town by a new road and an old road. The old road is much more scenic but you'll need nerves of steel to negotiate the hairpin mountain turns. There is also bus transport to other island destination. Stari Grad is two kilometres from the port of Stari Grad that receives frequent car ferries from Split. Buses meet most morning ferries from Split. See more on getting to Hvar Island and getting around Hvar Island.
