Cypress reserve & Pod Gospu

The hillside beneath Orebić’s Franciscan Monastery is densely covered by a belt of dark-green cypresses planted in the mid-twentieth century. Now a protected nature reserve, the forest also includes smaller numbers of Aleppo Pine, Carob and Olive trees. The path from just above the Bellevue Hotel to the Franciscan Monastery passes through the reserve, enabling you to enjoy the fragrant calm of this unique spot.
