Svirce

One of Hvar's more intereting villages, Svirce is best known for its excellent wines, and its rose was once the most important wine on Hvar.  Leading the way is Vinarija Caric - whose marketing director is secretary of the Hvar Wine Association - and the Svirce Wine Cooperative.

There is a delightful old part of the village up the hill, as well as the excellent Kod None restaurant.

Many visitors to Svirce are drawn by the unsual church at the entrance to the village, a unique structure certainly to Hvar, and perhaps Dalmatia.  Others are drawn by another less advertised attraction, the weekly concerts at the rather surreal motorbike club opposite the church.
