In Mišići, the sea and the hilly hinterland are in visible contrast. Parts of the coastal area are covered with low vegetation, while others are rocky. If you are looking for accommodation, this contrast offers a practical starting point for choosing a location: would you like to focus your stay mainly on the coast, or take the hills into account as well?
