If you want to explore the folklore and ethnography of Konavle you must visit Cilipi, one of the largest settlements in Konavle. In front of the St. Nicholas church the main square is surrounded by ancient buildings, thus creating an ideal showplace for visitors of folk events. For over forty years now, every Sunday from Easter to the end of October, a folklore dance is on show maintaining the cultural heritage. At the same square you will also find the Konavle County House Museum that showcases a variety of rich ethnographic material from the entire Konavle region.
