What to see
Bokar and Lovrijenac stand on opposite sides of the old-town approach. Exterior views show the relationship between forts and sea. Gradac and the rocky Danče shore replace stone lanes with parkland and water
How to walk
From Pile, descend to the Bokar view, then continue to Šulić cove and the stair approach to Lovrijenac. Walk through Gradac to Danče. Paid fort entry and the wall circuit are outside the track
