It is located in the biggest bay on Šolta and is the island’s youngest settlement, gravitating towards the central beach overlooked by a large apartment resort, owing to which Nečujam used to be one of the most famous destinations on the Adriatic coast before the 1990-ies.
Its tranquillity and green vistas inspired some of Croatia’s greatest poets, namely Marko Marulić and Petar Hektorović. The house where Marko Marulić was staying still stands in the very centre of the village.
Many consider Nečujam the most beautiful bay of the island of Šolta. It comprises eight coves: Bok Supetra, Šumpjivina, Podkamenica, Maslinica, Tiha, Bok od rata, Piškera and Supetar.
