Banjole, a fishing village a naturally protected harbour, was established in Roman times, and today has 700 residents. The settlement is located on a small peninsula where all lovers of the sea, sailing and fishing dream of living. The residents of Banjole are today closely tied to the sea, so that fresh fish are an everyday gift. Almost every house offers a room or two or a well-furnished apartment for tourists.

This region was endowed with many small coves and peninsulas by nature, as well as natural beaches, and people added such features as tennis courts, hiking and bicycle paths, motor and sailboat rentals and other aquatic sports.
