Water temperature…
Banići is located in Dubrovačko Primorje, about 40 kilometers northwest of Dubrovnik. The village stretches from the D8 state road (Adriatic Highway) down to the beautiful Janska bay. This natural bay features a safe harbor and crystal-clear water, good for swimming and boat owners. The area is characterized by lush Mediterranean vegetation, particularly centuries-old olive trees. Residents of Banići are known for producing high-quality olive oil and growing figs and carob. The architecture is a mix of old farmhouses and more modern holiday accommodations that blend harmoniously into the coastal landscape. Near Banići is the town of Slano, which has a larger tourist infrastructure. However, the village itself remains a retreat for those seeking peace. The local church of St. Mary Magdalene is a small cultural-historical monument that has accompanied the community's spiritual life for centuries.
