Srednje Selo, which literally translates to 'Middle Village', is located in the heart of Šolta island and is one of the best-preserved examples of rural architecture in Dalmatia. The village is characterized by narrow alleys and robust stone houses, often adorned with beautiful courtyards and gardens. Time seems to have stood still here, as inhabitants remain deeply rooted in the traditions of olive oil and wine production. Srednje Selo is surrounded by a green oasis of centuries-old olive trees that gently embed the village into the hilly landscape. A walk through the village leads to the Church of the Presentation of Mary in the Temple, a cultural center of the community. The atmosphere is defined by peace and Mediterranean serenity, making Srednje Selo a convenient place for those seeking relaxation. Thanks to its central location on the island, both the easy on the eye bays in the south and the livelier harbor towns like Rogač or Stomorska are quickly reachable. Visitors can purchase first-class, locally pressed olive oil directly from producers and experience the genuine hospitality of the islanders. It is a place that perfectly embodies the essence of old Dalmatia.
