The viewpoint above Povlja is a marked location on a rise above the settlement. Its position offers a view over the village and its coastal surroundings.

Location above the village

The map marker lies south of central Povlja, on higher ground above the cove. The name describes the location’s use for viewing the landscape; it does not refer to a separate archaeological site.

Development of the viewpoint

In a report for the first half of 2015, the Municipality of Selca mentions work on a viewpoint above Povlja. Since the report does not give a precise location, it is not fully confirmed whether the work refers to this marker or to another spot above the settlement.

Access

Before setting out uphill, check the actual route and access conditions. The map marker does not guarantee a maintained railing, lighting or car access.
