Jesenice

Jesenice is a coastal settlement on the Adriatic in Croatia and includes the villages of Bajnice, Krilo, Orij, and Suhi Potok. These places sit spread out along the shoreline and form a connected residential area together.

The settlement has been part of the local coastal area for a long time and has changed over the years. Like many small places in the region, it has experienced the kinds of population shifts common to rural coastal areas.

The settlement consists of several villages that preserve traditional coastal living, with houses clustered closely near the water's edge. Visitors notice the typical white stone homes and narrow lanes that define this part of the coast.

The place sits on the Dalmatian coast and is easy to reach from the main road that runs along the shoreline. The best time to visit is from May through October, when the weather is stable and warm.

The settlement is actually a joining together of several separate villages, each shaped by traditional fishing and farming. This geographical and social structure is unusual for the area and makes the place a mosaic of distinct small communities.
