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.

A great wall stretches from this stronghold to the town of Ston. The port of Mali Ston was completed in the year 1490.

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"
