Žrnovo

Žrnovo is a dispersed village rather than a compact coastal centre. Brdo, Prvo Selo, Kampuš and Postrana sit among dry-stone walls, vineyards, olive groves and holm-oak woodland. The northern bays of Žrnovska Banja, Vrbovica, Tri Žala and Oskorušica remain closely tied to the village, while tracks across Defora descend to a more secluded southern coast. Stoneworking, winegrowing and olive cultivation shaped the traditional economy and remain visible in the stone houses and agricultural terraces. Although Korčula Town is only about four kilometres away, that proximity has not erased Žrnovo’s distinct identity or Postrana’s local customs.
