The area is sunny, with an average of about 2,450 hours of sunshine per year.

Kali is a typical Dalmatian town with narrow streets and stone houses, situated on a hill. The first record of the town dates back to 1299 and one of its landmarks is a single-nave Baroque parish church of St. Lawrence, constructed upon the foundations of earlier buildings, as evidenced by the traces of the existence of an antique period structure.

The locals of Kali have traditionally engaged in the fishing of oily fish and specifically, the Kali fishermen specialize in tuna fishing, with many of them having sailed in the Pacific, Atlantic, Micronesia regions. Nowadays, the town of Kali prides itself on its fishing fleet of around 30 modern boats, a modern fishing port and cage fish farming.

The locals’ identity is profoundly rooted in fishing and a pervasive fishing tradition is a recognizable fundamental characteristic of the town of Kali.
