The village of Sveta Nedelja is located just below a cave that was inhabited by Neolithic tribes in the ancient past and later became the home to an Augustinian monastery in the 15th century. This is a village with history as well as beauty. It is a wine lover’s paradise with delicious wine tastings and tours, the best wines on the island. You should order prosciutto, cheese and other local delicacies when tasting the wines. Only remains of the ancient monastery can be found just below the peak of St Nicholas.
