Slano is a small treasure chest of Croatia, with pleasant weather, white shore, and crystal-clear water, all of this located in the stunning, untouched nature. Mediterranean plants and carob trees cast shadows on the pebbly sand of the beautiful beach. Far away from the noise of the city, this place is ideal for relaxation. The village is in a gulf, which is safe for boats in case of poor weather.
Slano is barely 30 km away from Dubrovnik in the county of Dubrovnik-Neretva, which is the southmost Croatian county. The location itself is quite impressive, the town is in a 2 km long gulf. It’s a quiet and historical place. The population is under 600. As a port, it’s significant, as it can be the starting point of many wonderful trips to nearby islands, with boat and yacht rental services.
The town has a genuine Adriatic atmosphere. The landscape of pure nature, narrow streets, stone houses, and Mediterranean trees is wonderful. It’s a place where you can let time stop for a while.

Also, don’t forget to visit the city of Ston which is home to the biggest and most famous shellfish farm in the country. We recommend Slano if you’re not looking for the cities from the guidebooks. Instead, you’d rather see an authentic, untouched side of the Adriatic region. It is the perfect location to dock for just a day, but if you find the atmosphere of this small town catchy, it provides several days’ worth of programmes.
