What to do and see on Pelješac?
Orebić, the largest town on the peninsula, boasts many captain’s houses and exotic gardens, which also hide interesting love stories. You can also visit the Maritime Museum and learn about famous local seafarers. Ston is also a well worth stop, with its magnificent walls, salt pans and delicious oysters served in the local restaurants.
Mountaineering and cycling are popular with people visiting Pelješac. Mount Sveti Ilija offers challenging trails and spectacular views, while sea lovers can enjoy sailing and scuba diving. Mljet National Park and the medieval town of Korčula, a short boat ride away, are great day trips.
While on the Pelješac peninsula, it would be a shame not to taste the world-famous Plavac Mali red wine and its prestigious Dingač and Postup versions. Book a tasting session at one of the local wineries to experience its authentic aroma.
