Getting There: Both sights are located along Šetalište Ivana Meštrovi ć a. You can take
bus #12 from the little cul-de-sac at the west end of the Riva (departs hourly, likely at :50
past the hour—but check the schedule; get off at the stop in front of the gallery, just after
your bus passes a museum prominently marked Muzej Hrvatskih Arheoloških Spomenika ).
You can also walk (about 30 minutes): Follow the harbor west of town toward the big mar-
ina, swing right with the road, and follow the park until you see the gallery on your right
(at #46). A taxi from the west end of the Old Town to the gallery costs about 50 kn (much
more from the east end of the Old Town). To reach the chapel, it's a five-minute walk past
the gallery down Šetalište Ivana Meštrovi ć a to #39 (on the left, in an olive grove).
Cuisine Art: Café Galerija is just above the ticket office.
