History of Loviste:

In the middle of the 19th century, Loviste was established by settlers from the town Bogomolja on the island of Hvar which is just across the channel. In Roman times it was a port on the maritime communication between Korcula (Korkyra Nigra) and Narona (Vid near Metkovic).  From that time, traces of a Roman villa rustica have been found in Loviste. There is also the church of the Heart of Mary from 1885.

This small fisherman’s village is located 17 km from Orebic, on the route via Kuciste and Viganj. The nearest airport is Dubrovnik Airport (3 hrs drive away). Accommodations in Loviste is available in rooms, pensions and apartments as well as a camping site.
