Did you know how the village of SLANO got its name?
The history of the name Slano is based on a very interesting legend. Namely, the Bosnian queen who was, according to that legend, a very big and fat lady, was riding a mule on her way to the sea. When she came to the sea she wanted to make her mule drink the water, but the mule didn’t want. The queen then tasted the water but she screamed out: “It’s salty”.
