Stari Grad Plain

The Stari Grad Plain extends across fertile grounds between the towns of Stari Grad and Jelsa, containing stone walls that divide agricultural parcels into geometric patterns.

Greek colonists from Paros established this agricultural system in 384 BC, dividing the land into 75 equal parcels of approximately 16 hectares each.

Local farmers maintain traditional cultivation methods for grapes, olives, and aromatic herbs within plots bordered by the original ancient Greek stone wall system.

Visitors can access the plain through local roads from Stari Grad, with bicycle rentals available for exploring the extensive network of agricultural paths.

The stone shelters called trims, scattered throughout the plain, function as tool storage spaces and demonstrate a preservation of agricultural structures from ancient times.
