Malo Grablje - Abandoned Village

Leaving Hvar port and heading East for about 5.5 km, past the coastal resort, there is a turn-off to the left that takes you to Hvar’s most beautiful village, the abandoned ethno–eco–village of Malo Grablje.

Wandering around this village, abandoned in the 50s, amidst a backdrop of cliffs, gives you an insight into authentic Dalmatia. These homes were relinquished as the locals moved to Milna in search of a better life and more economic stability.

The village, however, is not totally abandoned. Mr Berti Tudor has restored his family home and opened a small family restaurant, offering traditional meals prepared with ingredients found in the surrounding area of Malo Grablje. Berti lives only by the food and products of his zone, from wine to olive oil, rosemary, sage, capers and basil.

This abandoned village is a testament to the tenacity of a strong-willed culture. It is such a beautiful and tranquil setting.
