Apart from its impressive development in tourism, Drvenik is also the important transport centre; it is a ferry port where from ferries depart for the islands of the Split archipelago such as Hvar, Brac and Korcula. Drvenik is first mentioned in the 13th century. The population lived mostly in Gornji Drvenik on the slopes of Biokovo, and only after the earthquake in 1962 they moved to the shore. Since then, Drvenik occupies two coves, Donji and Gornji Val, where many houses, apartments, guest houses and villas were built.
There are around 480 permanent residents, but the destination has 1600 beds, mostly in comfortable apartments and rooms in Drvenik whose windows are always open overlooking magical beauty of the coast.
