Being a plant person, i was happy to visit and learn about the botanical reserve and see some of the olive trees planted by the greeks in the vicinity. I was also happy with the climate of the place and clear skies, i have never been so happy being on my own

The mediterranean cuisines were really delicious, their fishing traditions were really passed on to safe hands. The Church was also full of cultural heritage, this place was fantastic

I learned about the and cultural heritage of the town at the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary which had a wooden altar. The wondrous Glagolitic inscriptions were well written and explained the culture and lifestyle of the people and town. I loved it here.

I love food and during my vacation this town happened to have festivals where local food was served. I particularly loved the fish that was prepared in a traditional way, the taste itself charmed me. The food was yummy.

The locals at this place had a festival where they prepared dishes of all types. I attended this festival. It was amazing. I enjoyed the food then there was the local dancing and singing. The event ended late at night and truth be told, it was wonderful.

The cool environment of this place was welcoming. I loved the walk down the olive trees and the greenery around them. I had a chance to be alone and think over issues that were bothering me. I enjoyed this alone time while listening to birds of different types sing. I felt rejuvenated after this lonely walk.

We toured the neighbouring islands around in taxi boats. We were granted access to the vintage lighthouse and it was so stunning to experience how it works.
