Risan’s waterfront is the main promenade in Risan, adorned with old palm trees. The promenade is also adorned with old green benches, a small harbor where the locals spend most of their free time walking by the sea.
Interesting facts: Above Risan is the village called Crkvice, on Mount Orjen, known as one of the rainiest places in Europe, which determines a large amount of rainfall in Risan.
Also, when a strong and cold Bura wind blows in Boka, locals call it the Risan’s Bura because it blows from Risan and is considered the coldest wind. The storms clear the air and clear the sea, so after this wind, you can see the remains of old Risan houses in the sea, which sank in the World War I.
