Optional visits are to art gallery, Island museum, Olive Oil museum and one of the last stone carving schools in Europe. Late afternoon or even night ferry back to Split.

    Today, as the last day of biking, we recommend to visit the island of Hvar. Riding on island Hvar you will pass lavender fields, olive groves and vineyards. You will ride along the scenic and mostly flat road on the north side of the island and pass the small towns Jelsa and Vrboska, finally you will reach Stari Grad (Greek: Pharos, literally Old Town), which is actually the oldest settlement on the island and one of the first ones in Europe that was founded by ancient Greeks. You can decide whether you want to bike a challenging uphill, passing rosemary and lavender fields and ancient Greek walls. Enjoy the beautiful view from the top of the island before a great downhill to Hvar. As this is your last ride why not treat yourself with a few drinks on the ancient piazza with a view of the 7th century fortification walls, the Venetian loggia and the oldest municipal theatre in Europe.
