Deep bay of Vela Luka has pretty much determined the history of the town as well – fishing, shipbuilding, and seafaring were always part of living here. Prehistoric site of Vela Spila, thousands years old anchorage at Gradina bay, picturesque coves and chapels along the coastal trail – they all reveal us the details of a long and rich history of living by the sea and with the sea. The distance we will cover is about 13 kilometers, with 340 meters of altitude gain (about 8 miles and 1100 feet of elevation gain) which usually takes about 4 hours.
