About Supetarska Draga
The settlement grew around the Church of St. Peter, after which it is named. The church, with its early Romanesque origins, sits in the Gornja Draga part and is a local landmark.

The nearest larger town is Rab, about 5 kilometres to the southeast, while the island itself is connected to the mainland by ferry from Stinica to Misnjak.
