- Visit the 10th-century pre-Romanesque Church of St. Peter on the coast, especially beautiful during sunset.

Seline is located on the shores of the Velebit Channel, right next to the better-known town of Starigrad-Paklenica. The place is known as the southern gateway to Paklenica National Park, a paradise for hikers, climbers, and nature lovers. The impressive peaks of Velebit rise directly behind the village, forming a spectacular contrast with the deep blue sea. The beaches in Seline, such as Pisak, consist of natural, light-colored pebbles and are characterized by particularly clean water. Due to its location at the foot of the mountains, the climate is pleasant even in high summer, as a light breeze often blows from the mountains. Seline has preserved its authentic character and is handy for tourists seeking quiet accommodation in the immediate vicinity of wild nature. In the area, you can buy local products such as mountain honey, olive oil, and figs directly from the producers. Proximity to the Zrmanja Canyon also has opportunities for rafting and kayaking. Seline is the excellent starting point for everyone who wants to combine mountain adventure with relaxing hours on the Adriatic beach.
