Hidden Gems and Local Favorites

Seek out the rusty but scenic Arza beach path below the Old Town, local konobas off the main promenade for authentic Njeguški prosciutto, and the quiet Savina gardens at sunrise. Nearby Rose and Njeguši villages offer village panoramas, homemade cheeses, and fewer tourists.
