Discover Slano

After you moor in ACI marina Slano, there are few places which are definitely worth visiting. The most important sight to see in Slano is the 15th-century Franciscan church of St. Hieronymus and the Rector’s Palace built in the era of the Dubrovnik Republic. If you visit the palace, you should also see the summer residence of the Ohmučević family, who were once famous sailors and shipowners. There are a few restaurants where you can try delicious meals of both local and international cuisine in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere.

Peljesac, Kobaš

The Bay of Kobaš, with a sandy shoreline and its own marina, has become very popular with the yachting community. Although it is only 7 km away from Ston, this village is not easy to reach. It is surrounded by mountains and hills, and the narrow road from Broce and Ston was constructed only a few years ago. For a long time, Kobaš could be reached by boat only and was called “an island on a peninsula”. Nowadays, Kobaš is first of all a secluded cove visited by yachting enthusiasts, who are interested in a nice beach and a good seafood meal. Except for the small port and restaurants, there are ruins of the Betondić family summer residence with a small chapel dating back to the 18th century. In the 20th century, Kobaš was known as a humble fishermen’s village inhabited by only 7 families. But then a terrible disaster took place. In October 1943, during World War II, the Germans set the whole village on fire and killed all the innocent fishermen and their families. A monument above Luka’s Tavern still testifies this horrible event. Nowadays, there are only two families living in Kobaš.
