Savina Monastery From its hillside location in the town's eastern fringes, this peaceful Orthodox monastery enjoys wonderful coastal views. It's dominated by the elegant 18th-century Church of the Dormition (Crkva Uspenja Bogorodice, literally "the falling into sleep of the Mother of God"), carved from pinkish stone from the island of Korcula in Croatia. Inside there's a beautiful gilded iconostasis, but you'll need to be demurely dressed to enter (no shorts, singlets or bikinis). The smaller church beside it has the same name but is considerably older (possibly 14th century) and has the remains of frescoes.
