STOLIV / STOLIV 12 km OD TIVTA: FROM TIVAT: me scan Air Serbia » Er Srbija | 13 Sto maslina za devojku Stoliv je pravo primorsko mestašce priljubljeno uz more. U podnožju planine Vrmac, smešten između Markovog rta i Veriga, najužeg dela Bokokotorskog zaliva, i malo skrajnut od glavnog puta, Stoliv je ostvarenje snova za svakoga ko je željan letovanja u miru i tišini. Tu nećete pronaći peščane plaže ni šume suncobrana, a opet ste na nekoliko koraka od mora. Obilje cveća krasi prozore starih kamenih kuća, a svaki pedalj ovog gradića slika je koja se urezuje u pamćenje. Malo je poznato da Stoliv ima i svoj gornji grad na planini Vrmac. Na samo 20 minuta hoda od mora, na visini od 240 metara, ušuškan u stoletnu kestenovu šumu nalazi se Gornji Stoliv, mesto iz kojeg su se stanovnici davnih godina spustili do mora i tako osnovali istoimeno novo naselje. Mestom dominira Crkva Svetog Ilije, a uz nju postoji i manja Crkva Svete Ane, za koju se pretpostavlja da je nastala u 12. veku. Do pre desetak godina selo u planini bilo je sasvim napušteno, a danas se mnogi interesuju za ruševne kuće starih pomoraca i rudara koji su nešto blaga iskopali u Americi. Dve su legende o nastanku imena Stoliv. Prema jednoj, za kišnih dana se sa Vrmca, od sela ka moru, spušta stotinu potoka, a po drugoj, svaki momak, da bi stekao pravo da se oženi, morao je da zasadi stotinu maslina. Sudeći po broju maslinjaka, treba verovati drugoj priči. Stoliv je uz šume kestena i zasade maslina poznat i po kamelijama, koje su stolivski moreplovci doneli iz Japana u 18. veku. Na Markovom rtu kod Stoliva sudaraju se vetrovi sa planina Lovćen i Orjen čineći lekovitu ružu vetrova, zbog koje je Stoliv poznat kao vazdušna banja. Zbog vetrova i mora vazduh je pun aerosola kojim, kažu meštani, kao i lekari, valja zalivati pluća. U konobama obavezno probajte školjke, mušlje i kamenice Be sure to try clams, mussels and oysters at the local taverns Leti u gradiću cvetaju ruže, a u proleće kamelije Roses bloom in the town during summer, and camellias during spring A hundred olives for the girl Stoliv is a real seaside town in the embrace of the sea. At the foot of Vrmac mountain, located between Marko's Cape and the strait of Verige, the narrowest part of the Bay of Kotor, it is a dream come true for everyone desiring to spend their summer holiday in peace and quiet. Here you won't find sandy beaches or forests of parasols, yet you are just a few steps from the sea. Abundant flowers adorn the windows of old stone houses, and every inch of this town forms a picture that's etched into the memory. A little-known fact is that Stoliv also has its own upper town, on Vrmac mountain. Located just a 20-minute walk from the sea, nestled away in a centuries-old chestnut forest, is Gornji Stoliv, a place whose inhabitants long since descended to the sea and there founded a new settlement of the same name. The settlement is dominated by the Church of St. Ilija, while alongside it is the smaller Church of St. Ana, which is presumed to have been erected in the 12th century. The village on the mountain was completely abandoned until about ten years ago, but many people are today interested in the ruined houses of old mariners and miners who left to dig up treasure in America. Two legends exist about the origins of the name Stoliv. According to one, a hundred streams appear on Vrmac on rainy days and descend from the village to the sea, while the other claims that every young man in the town had to plant a hundred olive trees in order to gain the right to marry. Judging by the number of olive groves in the area, we should believe the second story. Alongside chestnut forests and olive groves, Stoliv is also known for camellias, which Stoliv sailors brought back from Japan in the 18th century. The winds from the mountains of Lovćen and Orjen collide at Marko’s Cape near Stoliv, forming a healing wind rose that is the reason Stoliv is known as an air spa. The winds and the sea ensure that the air is full of aerosol droplets that locals and doctors say are good for the lungs.
