Jelsa and Stari Grad are the centres of the municipality, the place where the amenities of modern life can be found, from pharmacies to schools to supermarkets and beyond. Dotted around the landscape are a collection of gorgeous villages, places where time has stood still in honour and respect of slow living. This is where the island’s olive oils and wines are produced, hamlets that have all the time in the world, provided you are willing to embrace it. No trip to the island is complete without exploring some of these charming locales.
