Ivan Dolac, Coastal settlement on Hvar Island, Croatia.
Ivan Dolac extends along the southern coast of Hvar Island, positioned between Zavala and Sveta Nedjelja, with views of Šćedro islet and Korčula Island.
The settlement dates to the 15th century when it was called Taja, referring to the rolling terrain, and later became connected to Svirče by the end of 1700s.
The Church of St. Mary contains a plaque from 1901 commemorating the protection of local vineyards from diseases that affected other Dalmatian regions.
Visitors reach Ivan Dolac through the Pitve-Zavala tunnel, with the village offering apartments, a local shop, and beaches including Šuplja Istina and Lučišće.
The settlement produces Mali Plavac wine from vineyards on steep slopes, benefiting from the highest number of sunny days recorded in Croatia.
