The full name of Petrovac is Petrovac na Moru, so do not confuse it with Petrovac na Mlavi, which is located in Serbia.
The Romans did not build their summer villas here in vain. This is one of the best places on the coast for a beach holiday: housing is affordable, the water is clear, the surrounding nature is amazing.
Interesting fact: Petrovac became famous in 2006, when it allegedly became the filming location for the next part of the James Bond film Casino Royale, but in reality all the scenes of Petrovac were filmed in the Czech Republic.
