Šotovento encompasses 13 villages and hamlets: Bajčići, Brozići, Brusići, Brzac, Glavotok, Kapovci, Linardići, Milohnići, Nenadići, Pinezići, Poljica, Skrpčići, and Žgaljići. Here, the original urban structure of clustered stone houses remains intact. These homes often feature storage rooms and wine cellars on the ground floor, with living spaces upstairs. 

Exploring Šotovento, you’ll come across valuable sacral monuments such as monasteries and chapels in Glavotok, where you’ll also find a significant nature reserve of ancient holm oaks.

In the cove of Čavlena, visit a majestic oak tree that will embrace you with its sprawling branches, offering a warm welcome in its pleasant shade. Isn’t it fascinating that this tree has stood in its place, greeting passers-by, for over 400 years?

If you enjoy charming taverns with unpretentious, home-cooked meals, don’t miss the chance to have lunch or dinner in one of them. You will be welcomed by friendly hosts who will often bring home-grown food to your table. And that is a priceless experience!
