Marco was always picking out plants for us to identify. While climbing the 250 steps to a WW2 treaty site, he pointed out oregano, thyme, sage, rosemary and mint, all growing wild along the way.

 

 

 

 

The Tito–Šubašic Agreements were attempts by the Western Powers to merge the royal Yugoslav government-in-exile with the Communist-led Partisans who were fighting the Axis occupation of Yugoslavia in the Second World War and were de facto rulers on the liberated territories. The first treaty was signed at this site, Tito's Cave (Titova špilja), on the island of Vis on June 16, 1944 by Josip Broz Tito, the leader of the Partisans, and Ivan Šubašic, Prime Minister of the Yugoslav government-in-exile and former governor of Croatia in the pre-war Yugoslavia.
