The relief is characterized by two parallel limestone crests; the higher, north-eastern crest (216 m) descends abruptly to the sea, so that the north-eastern coast is more difficult to approach. As an extension of those crests in the north-west stretches a reef called Sveti Mihajlo (St. Michael), and in the south-east the islands of Mali and Veliki Skupio and the islet of Skupio. |
