Rudina, Stari Grad

Rudina is a settlement on the northern coast of Hvar island, stretching along limestone hills that overlook the Adriatic Sea. The village is surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and connected by walking paths that link different parts of the settlement.

The area developed near the ancient Greek colony of Pharos, founded in 384 BC, which forms the basis of present-day Stari Grad. These ancient roots left traces in how the land is organized and how people have lived here for thousands of years.

The area is shaped by wine-making and olive harvesting, carried out using methods passed down through generations that define daily life for residents. These agricultural activities shape how the landscape looks and how the community moves through the seasons.

You can reach the settlement through walking paths and roads that connect from Stari Grad, providing direct access to several beaches. The network of paths allows visitors to explore on foot and discover different beach areas throughout the region.

Ancient field divisions from Greek times are still visible in the landscape, showing how systematically the settlers organized the land. These old patterns continue to shape the terrain today and offer a glimpse into how people worked the soil thousands of years ago.
