Bogomolje
East of Gdinj in the valley, stands the village of Bogomolje which consists of four parts each comprising a cluster of houses: Srid Sela, Glava, Rače Njiva and Jerkov dvor. The inhabitants use two dialects (one is of the people from the mainland), the continental mentality and manner of dressing prevail. Bogomolje is a picturesque village stretching along the road and has the same layout as Gdinj, i.e. several hamlets connected together. The village is interesting from an etnographical point of view, primarily because there are several threshing-floors preserved there, those of Perinova and Radasinova Glava. The population is mostly occupied with agriculture.
The tiny baroque parish church (1605) has a facade from 1750 and is surrounded by graves. There is an interesting old kitchen and ante-room in the house of Mirko Barbarić.
The village harbour (Bogomolja Bristova) is on the northern side of the island about 3 km away.
The road from Bogomolja to Sućuraj (18 km) passes through Marijin dvor and Jerkovići which together with Zaglav on the southern side of the island make up Selca Bogomoljska.
Zaglav is an interesting primitive settlement in a wild natural setting with caves containing traces of old cultures (stairs cut in rock in the cave). 2.5 km before Sućuraj the ground descends to an altitude of only 25 m emphasizing still more the massive bulk of Mt. Biokovo on the mainland coast.
Both shores of this narrow neck of the island, between Gdinj and Bogomolje and further on to Sućuraj, contain numerous attractive coves and beaches of which only the largest have been mentioned.
