The continuity of Dalmatian cuisine is impressive even by demanding Mediterranean standards. What the emperor enjoyed, has also been preserved for our enjoyment, and added to them have been the best ideas of hundreds of generations of chefs. In this region the principles of the so-called Dalmatian minimalism are consistently respected according to which top foodstuffs, first of all, the most prized fish, are made edible in the shortest and simplest way, by cooking, roasting or frying, in order to not ruin the perfect natural flavours of dory, dentex, bream or mullet. At the same time, endless variations of recipes are also created which require gradual multi-day preparations, of complex seasoned compositions, such as “pašticada” beef stew.
The plavac grapes, which give some of the most renowned Dalmatian wines, bask in the sun here, shaped by the sea and the rocks, nurtured on the sediment ground, fighting against the extreme slopes, contained only by the stone terraces.
The complex yet harmonious plavac can be found along the entire southern stretch of the island. It has given the island its far-reaching fame and is a source of local pride; this is your chance to see it from the perspective of the locals and understand its roots. If you find yourself in need of fuel along the way, make a stop at the Komiža port and restock on supplies. Without a doubt, you’ll soon find out that wherever vines are planted here, hardworking hands and affection for the local varieties will bring out their pure essence.
A family holiday is not a real holiday if you’re not spending at least some of it at the beach – you can’t do better than the tried and tested combination of sun, sea and sand.
Family beaches on the Adriatic coast are places where fun and exciting activities are always front and centre, with areas that allow for easy entrance into the sea, shallow water, either sand or small pebbles, and crystal-clear blue sea.
Some of them are even considered among the most beautiful locations in the world, as for example Stiniva made of fine white pebbles.
