Overview

Orebic is a small city and the most well-known located on the southern coastline of the Peljesac peninsula, opposite to the island of Korcula. Its most popular beach is Trstenica. Orebic is surrounded by beautiful Mediterranean vegetation: pine trees, almond trees and citrus trees. Here accommodations include everything from hotels, apartments and villas to more natural settings offered by its many campsites. Orebic was once an important nautical destination and it was named after a captain's family, Orebic, in the 16th century.
Trpanj is a town and harbour located on the northern coast of Peljesac and at the foot of the summits Ostro and Vitar. Trpanj developed near villae rusticae and up on the summit lie the ruins of a medieval fortress. This wonderful town offers beautiful pebbled beaches, untouched nature and it is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing holiday with the family.
Viganj is a small town with lovely pebbled beaches and beautiful pine forests. Just north-east of Viganj is the mountain resort of St. Ilija where visitors can enjoy hiking and longs walks through nature.
Ston is known for its salt-works and oyster farming. The town's coastline, which stretches down the canal and into the Papratna inlet, is a wonderful place where visitors can enjoy swimming, fishing and scuba diving. Ston is surrounded by a 980m long wall with fortifications. Ston's largest fortress is Veliki Kastio whose wall stretches along the town's coastline and, looking out towards the sea, borders with the salt-works. This large complex was built by the people of Dubrovnik (from the year 1330-1506). The people of Ston are also known for their wine making expertise and guests can verify them by visiting the town's many wine cellars and taverns.
Mali Ston (Little Ston) is located in a small inlet. It is known for the cultivation of seashells within the Bristina inlet and the Mali Ston canal. The town is surrounded by fortress walls in the shape of a square and facing the harbour is the main entrance to the town. All of its streets were built at a right angle. On an elevation in the southern part of town, in the year 1347, the building of a stronghold, including five towers, began and later named Koruna. A great wall stretches from this stronghold to the town of Ston. The port of Mali Ston was completed in the year 1490. It was built to resemble the harbour of Dubrovnik and embedded in it are three arsenals which were used to store small warships.
Guests can also take the time to visit some of the many smaller towns on the Peljesac peninsula such as Duba, Crkvice, Trstenik, Zuljana, Drace, Janjina, Kuna, Oskorusno, Gornja Vrucica, Potomje and Postup

Location & area

Orebic is one of the most popular tourist resorts on the Peljesac Peninsula. The small pretty town and harbour is situated along the Peljesac channel on the Southern shore, facing the Old town of Korcula, just 120 km from the city of Dubrovnik.
Orebic takes its name from a XVIth century family of sea captains and was primarily built as a defence against the Turks. Famous for its seafaring past, it is known as the "town of sea captains" and many of its old charming Baroque houses and luxuriant exotic gardens still grace the seafront today. Upmarket bistros, bars and gourmet restaurants are dotted along the beautiful promenade which are fringed with lucious palms, citus and olive trees.
Squeezed between the coast and the foothills of the imposing St. Illija mountain (961 m), Orebic offers a unique summer atmosphere. A gently shelving shoreline includes some of the finest beaches in South Dalmatia.
The impressive Trstenica sandy beach is located near the entrance of Orebic at the end of the promenade and is ideal for families with children, while there are numerous rocky bays and coves for those looking for privacy. The expansive views of the azure Adriatic Sea will allow sunbathers to follow the course of sun from sunrise to sunset.


A charming Franciscan monastery (Holy Mother of Angels) built in 1470, nestles 150 m high above Orebic and holds a museum and valuble art collection. Situated on a craggy stone crest, the monastery commands spectacular views Orebic town, the sea and island's of Korcula, Mljet and Lastovo.
It has always been a long tradition for the local seamen to sound their whistles as they pass the monastery as a sign of gratitude and thanks for protection.
As a developing tourist destination, Orebic offers a huge variety of tourist pursuits. Sporting and recreational facilities, including tennis courts and football fields and water sports such as sailing, windsurfing and scuba diving are all possible.

One can thoroughly enjoy walking along nature trails, cycling, and mountaineering, especially to the peak of nearby Mt. Illija. Fearless hang gliders fly from the high slopes of Mt. Illija, and are rewarded with the impressive views of the nearby islands. Just a short drive away are the quaint south facing coastal villages of Perna, Kuciste and Viganj.
From the palm lined Orebic marina, there are regular car/passenger ferries to Korcula old town. A short boat trip, (only 15 minutes) away is well worth the visit. Korcula is considered to be the birthplace of Marco Polo and is compared to the city of Dubrovnik with its renaissance palaces and medieval fortresses.
Traditional culture and history are apparent when you walk its ancient network of old cobbled streets, where many of its restaurants and cafes offer alfresco dining. As a National ferry port, it is possible to arrange excursions to Dubrovnik, Hvar, Split, Mljet, Lastovo and many more wonderful places.


The wine slopes of the interior, are dotted with the wine trails and wine cellars where you can sample Dalmatia's finest wines such as Dingac and Postup. One hours drive from Orebic, the Peljesac road leads East through large vinyards and picturesque villages to the Small towns of Ston and Mali Ston. Surrounded by a fortified wall, the second largest in the world, many visitors like to sample their famous gastronomic delights, Mussels and oysters.
Orebic is one of the rare localities an the Adriatic coast where you will really experience the meaning " The Mediterranean as it was"
