We will have a stroll and see the former Rector palace which has been renovated just recently as well as a small archaeological exhibition within a monastery garden with tombs dating from an early Christian era. Slano today acts as a small resort and a fishing village, but back in medieval times, it was quite important due to all the trading traffic inland which took place right here. From Slano village there is a 30 minutes ride back to Dubrovnik.
