Jesenice - Dugi Rat

Jesenice is a small town located on the coast between Split and Omis, known for its beautiful beaches and secluded coves. Jesenice is an ideal choice for a peaceful and relaxing holiday although it is only 15 kilometres from Split, the second largest city in Croatia. The place is known for its wooden sailing ships, the old tradition of over 300 years. That is why it is sometimes called the place of Onassis. In the past, these ships were called “salbunjera” which were used for the extraction of sand from the mouth of the rivers Cetina and Neretva; today the inhabitants turned to tourism and wooden sailing ships which are used for organized one-day and multi-day trips along the coast.
