Majkovi is located in the Dubrovačko Primorje municipality, just a few kilometers from the coastal town of Slano. The village is a prime example of traditional Mediterranean architecture, with houses built from solid natural stone. It is known as the 'Center of Honey', where beekeepers have been producing high-quality sage and heather honey for generations. The local House of Honey informs visitors about the importance of bees for the local ecosystem. The surroundings of Majkovi are characterized by olive groves, vineyards, and dry stone walls, which are part of the region's UNESCO World Heritage heritage. Hikers will find numerous paths here offering wide views over the Elaphite Islands. Culturally, the Church of the Holy Trinity is significant, forming the spiritual center of the small community. The village provides a slow-paced experience away from the crowds of Dubrovnik. Local farms sell olive oil, wine, and the famous Travarica brandy directly from the doorstep. The proximity to the Adriatic allows for morning swims in the secluded bays near Slano and enjoying the cool breeze in the hills of Majkovi in the afternoon.
