About Poje

Stari Grad Plain on the beautiful Adriatic island of Hvar is like a time capsule from the 4th century BC. Imagine walking through a landscape that’s been almost untouched since Ionian Greeks from Paros first set foot here. This fertile plain has been bustling with grapevines and olive trees since those ancient days and is still going strong. Plus, it’s a natural reserve. Picture ancient stone walls, cute little stone huts, and a fascinating land division system called the chora, all perfectly preserved for over 2,400 years. It’s a slice of history you can walk through!

Spanning 1,376 hectares, it's the largest fertile land on Croatia’s Adriatic islands and a treasure trove of history. This ancient agricultural gem, recognized by UNESCO in 2008, showcases the original Greek land divisions. It’s dotted with around 120 archaeological sites and echoes the hard work of Hvar’s peasants through the ages. Whether you’re a scientist, historian, or wine enthusiast, there’s something fascinating here for you— from ancient vines and stone walls to the aromatic island herbs.

Walking through the Stari Grad Plain is like stepping back in time. Let’s do this together and enjoy the beauty and rich history of this unique landscape!
