Traditionally, this was the place where people caught fish and grew vines and olives. There is still that, but now some pretty villas and old restored stone farmhouses with sparkling pools bring satisfied holiday makers into the village. Cafes and restaurants line the harbour. Along the harbour there are some grand old houses built by rich sea captains and merchants and their gardens are full of exotic Mediterranean plants. Watersports are popular, and you can also do trips to numerous Peljesac wineries. Or climb the Mt St Elijah (Sv. Ilija) 960 metres high (guide recommended). The roads are great for cycling among vineyards and along the coast. The local church has a painting of the Battle of Lepanto and some beautiful medieval wood carvings.
