Stomorska is located in a deep bay on the northeastern coast of Šolta Island, serving as its oldest coastal settlement. The village is defined by its rich maritime history, once home to a formidable fleet of wooden sailing ships known as 'trabakuli' that traded the island's wine and oil across the Adriatic. Many of these historic vessels remain in the harbor today, converted into characterful excursion boats. The townscape is characterized by steep alleys, historic stone dwellings, and a spirited waterfront lined with restaurants and cafés. Stomorska is often cited as the gastronomic heart of Šolta, where diners can enjoy fresh catches of the day in a traditional setting. The Church of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors, overlooks the bustling harbor activity. Despite its popularity among yachting enthusiasts, the village retains its authentic Mediterranean soul. The surrounding area provides several pebble beaches with crystal-clear waters and trails that wind through pine forests and ancient olive groves. It is easily accessible via ferry from Split to the port of Rogač, followed by a short drive. A local specialty not to be missed is the island's honey, which has been prized since Roman times for its medicinal properties and unique flavor.
