Najboljši čas za obisk
The best time to come is in the early morning hours, before breakfast, when the church is almost empty and the light through the stained glass creates a special atmosphere. In summer, avoid the midday hours due to tourist crowds.

O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Ta cerkev nosi ime po zvezdi morja in služi kot duhovno središče lokalnih ribičev in pomorščakov, ki molijo za varno plovbo. Zanimivo je, da cerkev gleda neposredno na obalo, zato lahko verniki med mašo skozi odprta vrata slišijo zvoke valov.
Poudarki: V cerkvi se nahaja lesena figura Bogorodice, ki jo ribiči vsako leto nosijo v procesiji do morja, obred pa spremlja blagoslov ladij ob zvokih siren. Ta tradicija poteka neprekinjeno že več kot pol stoletja in na obali zbere na stotine ljudi.
Notranji nasveti
- Wear light clothing that covers your shoulders and knees, as the dress code is strictly observed in the church.
- The best photo is taken from the promenade in front of the church, when the temple is reflected in the sea water during sunset.
- Skip the inner benches and sit in the back row; from there you can best see the entire altar and the stained glass.
- If you are interested in the procession, check the date of the summer feast of the Virgin Mary; that is when the church becomes the epicenter of the celebration.
