OLIVE HARVESTING

Nothing says “Dalmatia” like blue skies, gorgeous coastline, and olive trees ready for picking. In just a few minutes you will become a part of a tradition which has been cherished for generations along the beautiful Croatian coast. These trees, flawless miracles of nature, offer you not only a possibility to experience the legacy of different cultures and people that have inhabited this region for centuries, but also a possibility to go home with a personal memory, a bottle of freshly-filled ‘’liquid gold’’.

Olive tree is the “sacred tree” of the human kind and they have been grown with special care and attention. The olive branch was often a symbol of abundance, glory and peace. The leafy branches of the olive tree were ritually offered to deities and powerful figures as emblems of benediction and purification, and they were used to crown the victors of friendly games and bloody wars. Today, olive oil is still used in many religious ceremonies. Over the years, the olive has been the symbol of peace, wisdom, glory, fertility, power and purity. The very origins of the olive trees date way before Jesus Christ. Opinions on where it came from are divided. Some say it came from Africa, others say it evolved in Greece. As far as Croatia is concerned, it is a proud owner of a 1600-year-old olive tree, located on the Island of Brijuni, which was planted by the Romans. 95% of all olive oil production in the world comes from the Mediterranean and Croatia is one of those producers. There are some 5 million trees in Croatia now, a small number comparing to other Mediterranean countries, but its oil is regarded as one of the highest quality “in the World”.

Olives are usually harvested in the autumn and winter. There are several ways to harvest the olives from the trees. One method is by using machines that shake the entire tree so the olives can drop down. The second one is by taking the rakes and then calming the branches until the fruit falls of into oil net that you previously spread around the tree. Another method is wearing a sack around your neck while you stand on a ladder, hand pick the olives and place them in the basket. It is best if the fruit is not bruised because that also affects the quality of oil significantly. The latter method also includes sawing off branches that increases the yield for future harvests. After harvesting which can last somewhere between one and two weeks, it’s time for production. However, you don’t wait two weeks and then go into production but as soon as your daily harvest is over you transport the olives to a nearby oil mil.

price – on request
Price is based on option and group size!
Optional:
If olives are not in season (late September through December) we organize olive tasting and tour to oil mill.

We offer you private, custom made and highly personalized boat tours to where ever you wish to go. Even better, we will let you tailor your own itinerary and give you advices and suggestions on eventual changes that could be made in it. You can choose to visit only one attraction or you can decide to spend the day cruising from one island to another. If you don’t want to spend the whole day out on the sea, that’s ok, we can arrange that, too. You are the one that chooses the location and the time that you’re going to spend on it.
To make your decisions a bit easier, here are a couple of suggestions:
Blue Lagoon – beautiful area with amazing crystal clear sea on an island just outside of Trogir, perfect for a short relaxing trip.
Zlatni Rat – famous must-see beach on the island of Brač that changes its shape based on the weather conditions and the influence of the sea, perfect for a relaxing day on a beach.
Hvar – the island and the city have their own hidden treasures waiting to be explored. You can cruise through the Pakleni Otoci, stop in the old city of Hvar or in one of the bay of this jet-set island.
Vis – island that’s a bit further away from the coast, but its natural beauties and hidden beaches, caves and coves will leave you breathless. Stiniva, Green Cave and the famous Blue Cave on the nearby Biševo Island might be the perfect choice for you.
Blue Cave – one of the most enchanting natural phenomena in this part of the Mediterranean, definitely something you should put on your bucket list.

NATURAL PHENOMENA BEACH OF GOLDEN HORN – BOL

Bol is the oldest coastal settlement on Brač. It exists in the solitude of the southern landscape, at the foot of the Bol crown and Vidova Mountain ? the highest island peak and at the same time the highest point of all Adriatic islands (778 m).

It stretches few kilometers along the coast. The sea in front of it is crystal clear, transparent waves resemble a cut crystal.

Bol has many beautiful beaches. To the west from Bol lies the beach Zlatni rat (Golden Horn) one of the largest and most beautiful attractions of the Adriatic. Like a small tongue it extends nearly half a kilometre into the clear blue sea.

It “grows” with the depositing and sedimentation of small gravelly pebbles around the underwater reef. The point of the Zlatni rat (Golden horn) changes shape, attempting to conform to the will of the waves and gentle sea currents.

Dominican monastery, rising in the holy peace is located on the east side of Bol, at the peninsula Glavica. Its museum has a rich archeological collection and diverse valuable objects and paintings.The urban core of Bol is shaped along the port. There are baroque summer residence, Loza with a little church, renaissancee-baroque palace with an art gallery inside it, parish church, little market and Kastil. Stylish buildings modestly fit the harmonious houses made in the original national architectural style…

The west side of the settlement has been built more recently. The mainhotels in Bol are located in the area towards Zlatni rat.

Bol is a locality of exceptional maritime benefits. Its coast with numerous corners of peace and pleasures gives a feeling of a large free space, is created for meditation and relaxation but also for active holidays.

The scent of medicinal sage and rosemary under the sunny slopes,and chirring of crickets is the deepest primeval music.

In this area, each visitor will be able to enjoy himself/herself.

Sitting across the Adriatic Sea from Italy, Croatia offers great beauty, a mild Mediterranean climate, ancient culture, tax breaks for retirees and low cost of living. The Institute for Economics & Peace ·ranks it higher than the U.S. for safety and security.

Well, Forbes can’t claim to have been the first to recommend the Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast as a retirement destination. That title goes to the Roman Emperor Diocletian (AD 245-316), the only Roman emperor ever to retire. He chose to spend his golden years in his palace in Split, where he remained until his death in year 316. The Diocletian Palace was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979 and it remains at the heart of Split, Croatia’s second-largest city, on the coast of Adriatic Sea, as capital of Dalmatia.

Croatian standards equal to EU standards….

A land of truly divine inspiration that has delighted many of the world’s prominent men of letters. A rare European landscape which boasts as many as eight nationa parks in so small an area!

With Risnjak, Paklenica, the Plitvice Lakes and Northern Velebit in the mountainous area, and with the Kornati Archipelago, the island of Mljet, the Brijuni Archipelago and the Krka waterfalls in the coastal area, Croatia is indeed a jewel of the primeval beauty of nature.

Croatian cuisine  

The Croatian cuisine is diverse and known as a cuisine of different regions. Its modern form originates from the  ancient times. The differences in the selection of ingredients and preparation methods are the most obvious if we compare the continental and coastal regions.

The coastal region is characterized by the influences of the Greeks, Romans, Illyrians and later Mediterranean cuisines – Italian and French. It features many seafood specialties (squid, cuttlefish, octopus, shrimp, lobster…) prepared in various ways, olive oil, prosciutto, various vegetables, Dalmatian wines such as Babic, Malvasia, Prosecco and Vrbnik Žlahtina, and various liqueurs like the famous Maraschino.
