Medveja

Medveja is a settlement along the eastern Adriatic coast where mountains descend directly to the water's edge. The place features a combination of rocky shores and Mediterranean plants that thrive in the coastal climate.

The settlement developed under the administrative structure of the Austrian-Hungarian Dual Monarchy during the 19th century. This period shaped its boundaries and role within the local governance of the coastal region.

The community here maintains a strong connection to the sea through fishing practices and traditional seafood preparation. Local celebrations reflect the importance of the Adriatic in daily life and identity.

The settlement is accessible via the coastal road with regular bus service from nearby communities. Walking is the best way to explore and experience the connection between the mountains and the sea.

The place has protected swimming beaches where rocky cliffs meet the sea and create natural stone formations. These sheltered coves offer clear water and are shaped by the dramatic meeting of mountains and coast.
