Stomorska

Stomorska’s old core is protected as a rural historic ensemble under registration Z-5714. The place-name, linked to a Church of St Mary, appears in records from the 14th century, while the present settlement began developing more substantially in the mid-1600s. An 18th-century fortified residence belonging to the Cindro family formed its first nucleus, accompanied by a small quarantine and storage building used for ships and equipment. In the late 19th century the single-nave Church of St Nicholas was built; together with the sturdy old school, it shapes a small square above the harbour.

Begin on the Pelegrin waterfront, taking in fishing boats and houses set directly against the harbour, then climb to the small square formed by St Nicholas’ Church and the old school. Return to the sea and walk to pebble-covered Điga; the coastal path beyond reaches broad natural stone slabs used for sunbathing. For an afternoon swim, cross to the side of the inlet where pines conceal Veli Dolac and Zadušna. Finish with dinner on the waterfront at Kamenica, Volat or Komin, avoiding any need to drive back into Šolta’s interior.
