SLANO, a village and small harbour in the bay of the same name; 37.5 km northwest of Dubrovnik; population 512. Farming, olive-growing, viniculture, fruit, growing, tobacco, herbs (sage, laurel, woodworm), fishing and tourism are chief occupations.

 

 

 

Slano, situated at the end of a beautiful, deep, 2-km long inlet, represents an attractive resort due to its many pebble beaches, rich vegetation and mild climate.
 
Yachts can anchor in the small protected Banja cove. Anchoring-ground for larger yachts lies off the entrance in the cove, to the southwest of Cape Gornji.

 

The area of Slano was populated already in the prehistoric period (ruins of a hill-fort and tumuli on the nearby hills) and in the ancient times (a Roman castrum on the hill Gradina; early Christian sarcophagi, today exhibited in front of the Franciscan church).
