SOLTA the nearest island to SPLIT Croatia (only 35 minutes away on catamaran), from the harbour of Split there are frequent ferries and catamarans to ROGAC which is the main port to Solta. From ROGAC you can get to all the main towns by bus or taxi, ROGAC is the name of a plant which has seeds that have been used for weighing gold. In the antiquity, carob seed was used as a measure for gold, one seed equalled one carat of gold (Greek Keration =carob seed). This was because, regardless of the seed size and the conditions of its keeping, it always weighs 0.18 grams. Carat is used even today as a measuring unit for gold and diamonds equalling 0.18 grams. The other use of ROGAC is to make Carob Liqueur, which can be found in most bars and supermarkets on the island. Necujam is a 10 minute bus ride from ROGAC, the number 2 bus meets the ferries and catamarans each time they arrive.

More History of Necujam
In Latin it would be Vallis surda, meaning `deaf bay`, those are the words describing the bay where Nečujam spread its houses, streets, churches and squares. It is a small village on the island Šolta, 9 nautical miles away from Split. Picturesque bay seems to attenuate all the sounds, but those of the sea and the wind trapped in pine tree umbrellas, upon tiny coves threaded over the north coast of Šolta. Building private holiday houses with modern apartments, often for rent, turned impressive firth to desirable tourist destination.
With the population of 80 people, Nečujam is the youngest settlement on the island. The bay itself was fish breeding site in the time of Roman imperator Diocletian. The remains of the stone walls merging breeding site are still there, along with the findings of Roman palace and necropolis in bays Piškera and Supetar. The last one keeps the remains of Gothic church from 15th century also. A curiosity about Nečujam is that it is a spot where few great Croatian literary masterpieces were written; Marko Marulić and Petar Hektorović, writers from 15th and 16th century, used to seek for inspiration in comfortable science of Nečujam`s bays. The house they lived and created is still there.
