I engaged in the fishing practices of the locals of the area. I learned they mainly engage in the fishing of salty fish like sardines. I learned about how the fish is prepared immediately it is captured and preserved in order to reach the market in fresh conditions.

The boat rides at the sea was amazing and we enjoyed the view of the landscape as well as the sea. The cruise took us through some amazing places and with the help of the guide we managed to see the wonderful caves and great places too.

I bought the salted fish especially the sardines to take back home. The tower found at the middle of the village served as a defense against frequent pirate attacks. I also learnt that, it was an important strategic position for monitoring the waters of the Mjet Channel and the open sea.

This town came to be in the 15th Century. It's a beautiful small town. It also served as a defense against pirate attacks. It is a small town located on a hill. Hiking to this place was an amazing experience.
