Pelješac is a peninsula in southern Dalmatia, known since ancient times as an important strategic point on the Adriatic Sea, and in the Middle Ages it was part of the wealthy Republic of Ragusa. Today it is famous for wines made from the plavac mali grape variety, particularly Dingač and Postup, as well as for its exceptional beaches, crystal-clear sea, and the cultivation of Ston oysters. The combination of rich history, outstanding gastronomy, wine tradition, and Mediterranean nature makes Pelješac one of the most special destinations on the Croatian coast.

Emergency numbers ↗ HROrebić was the home of long-haul sea captains, and the old part of town preserves a series of captains' houses from the 18th and 19th centuries — large family residences with gardens, spaced apart in such a way that Orebić lacks the dense core found in other Dalmatian towns. Narrow streets lead up to the Franciscan monastery above the harbour, with views over the Korčula Channel and Korčula.
A 15th-century monastery stands on a hill above Orebić, at an elevation of about 150 meters. It houses a Gothic painting of Our Lady of the Angels, to whom sea captains donated votive offerings — ship models and nautical objects, which are today displayed in the monastery collection.
Sveti Ilija is the highest peak of the Pelješac peninsula at 961 meters above sea level. From the summit you can see the entire Pelješac Channel, Korčula, Mljet, and on clear days the Biokovo mountain range on the mainland; the hiking trail starts from Viganj or Podgorje.
Pelješac is home to Dingač — one of the few geographically protected wine-growing regions in Croatia, planted on almost vertical slopes above the sea.
