Raša

Raša was built from scratch in the 1930s around its own coal mine, and still has the distinct, deliberately planned layout to show for it — rows of company housing running down to the old mine chimney, now a quiet inland town rather than an industrial site. It's a small, everyday, non-touristy place, valued more for its unusual history and calm than for any resort appeal.

Who it suits

Who it suits

Young couples without children

The unusual history, nature and calm coves will suit, but leisure outside the season will require trips.

Families with children

It is important to check the school routes and not to carry the conveniences of the town of Raša over to all the coastal villages of the municipality.

Older people and retirees

Assess the access, stairs and distance to a shop: a beautiful house above a bay can be less convenient than housing closer to everyday services.
