Vrbnica Cave - a wide, 20 m deep hall is located 100 m to the right of the entrance to the harbor. An endemic species of Kolombatić was found in the cave.
Silo also offers landscapes, magical views and history. Remains of a Roman villa - is an inscription that will take you to the remains of a Byzantine fortress, dating from the 6th century, with the help of similar markings. However, as soon as you indulge in the view of Crikvenica, Selce and the surrounding landscape, it will be clearer that this, now dilapidated "villa", had an additional function - it served as an observatory.
