Why it is worth your time
Drive the high road inland to Velo Grablje and Brusje, where terraced fields turn violet and hum with bees each June. For a century this fragrance was the island's fortune, distilled into oil shipped across the world. Follow your nose to a roadside stall and carry the scent of Hvar home.
