Location
About the surrounding area of Villa Aqua ZelenaThe village of Sveta Nedelja is located just below a cave inhabited by Neolithic tribes in the ancient past and later became the home to an Augustinian monastery in the 15th century. This is a village with history as well as beauty. It is a wine lover’s paradise with delicious wine tastings and tours, the best wines on the island. You should order prosciutto, cheese and other local delicacies when tasting the wines. Only remains of the ancient monastery can be found just below the peak of St Nicholas. The chapel still stands, and it is worth the 40 minutes climb up to see it and enjoy the views. The area has become a free climbing destination with its sheer rocky cliffs and stunning vistas. A small lavender and rosemary oil distillery creates the most divine scented oils that you can also visit. The new part of Sveta Nedelja is right next to a delightful sandy beach called Login Beach. It is a popular spot for sunbathers and swimmers. You can enjoy freshly caught fish at the restaurants next to the beach. Nearby is the lovely Lucisce Beach, another sandy gem.
Visitors to Sveta Nedelja can enjoy hiking, trekking, mountaineering, rock climbing, mountain biking, cycling, surfing and windsurfing. It is great for those that love the outdoors.
Jelsa is another popular spot, the main tourist centre on the north shore of Hvar. It boasts a fragrant dense pine forest, wonderful sandy beaches, numerous vineyards, historic cultural landmarks, adventure parks and a good range of shops and gourmet restaurants. Vitarnja Beach is a delightful, beautiful cove near Jelsa. It is a great place for families with thrilling treats.
North of the villa is Stari Grad, founded in 384BC by the ancient Greeks named Pharos. Throughout the town, you will find remains of its glorious past. Stari Grad is very beautiful with a maze of picturesque narrow streets, the magical sounds of folk singers, galleries, charming courtyards, excellent shops and traditional taverns. The town sits proudly at the end of a deep inlet. The waterfront promenade continues along the northern bank to a small beach. The surrounding fields are still divided into parcels of land. The Stari Grad Plain is wonderful for hiking, cycling, enjoying the lavender fields and visiting ancient little villages.
On the south coast, Zavala boasts a few restaurants and shops surrounded by beautiful nature. Its rustic Dalmation stone houses fill the narrow cobbled streets, plus you have a wonderful view of the islands of Scedro and Korcula as well as the Peljesac Peninsula. The slopes of the village are adorned with neat rows of vineyards and scented blooming oleander flowers. The village is famous for its delicious white wine, bogdanjusa, which you can drink in one of the restaurants along with some superb local dishes. Below the village are beautiful beaches, including Petrascica with its fascinating cave and a small harbour. Zavala is a wonderful spot for those wanting to escape the crowds and relax, surrounded by the hypnotic scents of rosemary and lavender, beautiful olive trees and wonderful vineyards.
Another popular excursion is to take a water taxi from Hvar Town to the sensational Pakleni Islands.

The town enjoys many historic buildings, including its wonderful medieval castle, its 15th-century monastery and its baroque cathedral. There are some lovely unique shops where you can buy souvenirs.
