Church of Saint Stefan Štiljanović

A small Serbian Orthodox church is located right next to the beach in Bečići. The original 14th-century church was dedicated to Saint Thomas, while the current building was erected in 1910 and dedicated to Saint Stefan Štiljanović, whose relics are kept inside. Local worshippers and tourists visit it especially on 17 and 19 October, when Stefan's Day and Thomas Day are commemorated. The church offers an interesting contrast to the tourist atmosphere of the beach and is a testament to the coastal history of the area.
