| | Orebic (peninsula Peljesac)
|
| | Orebic, nowadays a famous tourist destination, was known as the maritime center of the southern Dalmatian peninsula Peljesac, famous for wines and wine growing. It lies on the southern coast of the peninsula that is connected to the mainland by road via Ston and by ferry line Ploce - Trpanj. The whole peninsula, covered with dense evergreen and Mediterranean vegetation, belongs to the warmest places on the Adriatic thanks to the many sunny days. In Orebic, there is a wide range of tourist services: private and hotel accommodation, sporting and recreational facilities (including tennis courts and football fields), water sports (all necessary equipment can be rented on the beaches), and sailing and surfing courses. The surroundings are ideal for walks, hiking and gathering of plants, while the wine slopes in the interior are dotted with wine trails and wine cellars where you can taste or buy homemade Peljesac wine and "prosek" - a sweet liquor made from grapes. There is a large sandy beach in the bay of Trstenica, while there are numerous rocky bays with small beaches close to Orebic for those looking for privacy. Orebic is proud of its gastronomic specialties, primarily oysters and mussels bred in the area, as well as its wines Dingac and Postup.
We recommend: stone fortifications on Vizanjica and Gruda hills / ruins of Roman settlements / Baroque town church with early Christian marble reliefs / Maritime Museum in Orebic / Gothic-Renaissance Franciscan Monastery 2 km from the town (valuable art collection) / ancient sarcophaguses near Gospa od Karmena church / places with long wine growing tradition Postup and Potomje / Ston / island of Korcula
How to get there: from Ston - 66 km west of Ston on the island's main road Ston - Orebic / from the ferry port Trpanj: 34 km on the island's main road Trpanj - Orebic. |
