Drvenik, Gradac, Coastal settlement in Gradac, Croatia
Located 30 kilometers south of Makarska, Drvenik extends along the Adriatic Sea with pebbly beaches beneath Mount Biokovo.
The settlement's first written records date to the 13th century, with the Church of Saint George constructed in the 15th century.
The former inhabitants of Drvenik maintained fishing practices and agricultural traditions before shifting their focus to tourism activities.
Regular ferry services connect Drvenik to Sucuraj on Hvar Island, while a coastal promenade stretches 2 kilometers to Zaostrog.
The abandoned original village includes fortification remains built for defense against Turkish invasions during medieval times.
