Gdinj consists of several hamlets, which are separated from each other by up to 2 kilometres. The hamlets of Visoka and Bonkovici dvori are a very interesting rural areas. The church of Sv. Juraj (St. George) of early Renaissance style, built in the 16th century, and the cemetery are the most interesting monuments of the village of Gdinj . There is also the church of Sv. Lucija (St. Lucy) in the village.
The name of Gdinj comes from a word "bditi" - to stay up late, i.e. to keep vigil, which indicates that Gdinj was an important look-out post. Mounds from the Bronze Age can also be found, stretching this far on the plateau from Zastrazisce. These were Illyrian tombs of stones piled up high, and then covered with massive stone slabs. The so called Vela gomila (the big mound), 30 metres in diameter, and the one next to it, slightly smaller, were unfortunately destroyed. Gdinj has a cove, Smrska, where there is the Angelini patrician country house. Towards the west is the cove of Kozja with the stronghold of the headman Matija Bartulovic from 1700. It served as a protection from pirates.
Picture above is the Jedra Cove in Gdinj. To reach the cove and accommodations there, you need to drivea fewkilometers on a gravel road. It is far away from any of the larger towns, and If you are looking for a quietrelaxing vacation, then this would be a great choice.
