Yes, I know, Tučepi have one of the most beautiful beaches on the Adriatic, but a trip to Gornji Tučepi is worth it, even if it doesn't rain. It is a place where it all began, the place where the first inhabitants of Tučepi got down to the sea. This place has not forgotten its history and if it is true that `history is the teacher of life´, here you will learn all about the ease of life that we know today in the modern world. The ancient inhabitants of Tučepi needed to be creative, for example, they used a pumpkin instead of a hose for children who are just learning to swim. In addition, pumpkins are used as a water canteen during the hard work in the fields. Collection of knitted bags will remind you of modern backpacks and rucksacks, with numerous other objects for you to discover in the unique Ethno collection Skrinjica (Croatian word for Chests). Ethno collection is located in an old stone house and invites all of you loving and researching tradition to welcome you with domestic brandy and olive oil tasting.
