Harbor and History

The natural harbor is sheltered from southerly and easterly winds. Along the waterfront, the large quay includes a breakwater that shelters yachts. The quay and breakwater were built in the early 20th century during Blato's economic boom. Historically, Prigradica served as the port through which Blato exported wine and olive oil.
