2000 years of tradition and, until recently, one of Hvar's liveliest discos
Enchanted by the narrow stone streets of the village of Pitve, oozing charm, tradition and history? A place to relax, to unwind and to enjoy the peacefulness of a stunning inland village. That may be the case now, but it wasn't at the turn of the Millenium, when Pitve housed the legendary Tom Tom/Bukara disco.
An astonishing tale of the relocation of more than 2,800 residents from Hvar, who joined more than 20,000 other Dalmatians to the Egyptian desert in 1944, and established a fully independent tented community.
The island of Hvar is well-known as a celebrity destination, and there are a number of famous people who visit every year. It is not all one-way traffic, however, and some people born on Hvar went on to distinguished careers elsewhere. We begin with the father of dactylosopy (fingerprint identification to you and me).
When the Ancient Greeks sailed in to what it modern day Stari Grad, it was assumed that they were fairly early on the residential scene on Hvar, but a chance discovery by paleontoligists in 2004 revealed they were 90 million years behind Hvar's first inhabitants, the titanosaurs.
