Ancient Romans used the term Nomen est omen, or, name in the essence, for things that were perfectly described by their name alone. This is also true of Igalo—the name signifying a long beach with therapeutic characteristics.
Igalo has also been described throughout history and in literature. In 1913, Sava Nakičenović, a priest from Zelenika, wrote the book “Boka” (trans. “Bay”) and wrote of Igalo specifically: “Foreigners come to this village to get medical care because of the mild climate. The village numbers 45 houses. Its long beach slopes very gently into the sea therefore for very long it is shallow with fine sand.”
