Dol is home to suncokret retreat center for body & soul, as well as a painters' atelier with mystical summer courtyard - open to the public for t-shirt painting or simply a soothing glass of home-made mint tea.

From the suncokret center, visitors may trek along the footpaths which lead to various ruins and finally to Sv. Nikola, the pinnacle of the island.

TASTE OF HVAR (WINE TASTING TOUR 6pm-?): According to an ancient legend, when God distributed benefits, Dalmatians got grapevine... because, at a place where sun burns the rocks, where soil is thirsty, where rocky ground prevails, hardly any crop may survive. That is exactly Dalmatia and that is where grapevine found its homeland. For as early as the 4th ctr. BC, the Ancient Greeks brought the grape vine to this sunny island and planted it in the fertile plain of the ancient town Pharos. Throughout the centuries of rich and turbulent history, people on Hvar cultivated their vineyards with great skill and care, blessed with the lushness of Mediterranean. Grapes and wine gave them safety, food and medicine. They grew some of the finest varieties in this area, but the challenge still remains: how to turn this richness and harmony into great wines. Tour starts at 6pm. After 30min drive we arrive to Jelsa, small town on the north coast of the island.
