Pelješac

The Pelješac peninsula is located in southern Dalmatia, opposite the Neretva Delta on the mainland near Ploče. It is the second largest peninsula in the Croatian Adriatic and is best known for its excellent wines such as "Mali Plavac" ("Little Blue"), the salt pans and the wall of Ston ("Stonske zidine"). On the south-west side of seaside, the island of Korčula is opposite to the old Captain town of Orebić in front.
There are various ways of getting to Pelješac. From Split you drive south to Ploče, from there starts several times a day Car Ferry to Trpanj on the north side of the peninsula or from Dubrovnik by land north. The highest elevation is the island summit of the "Sveti Ilija" with a height of 962 meters with impressive views over the ridges towards the mainland and the Dalmatian islands.
Orebić - above in the picture - has a long seafaring tradition, which you can see in the many old captain's villas there and is a small ferry port with connection by Passenger ferry or Ferry to Korčula. Several different ones start from Orebić Hiking routes on Sveti Ilija. They are well marked and every mountain hiker should not miss this experience.
Below in the picture - Ston with its salt pans for salt extraction and the huge fortification of the „Stonske zidine“ is also a must if you are on Pelješac.
A hike from Ston over the wall to Mali Ston on the other side of the mountain is a sweaty but wonderful experience with views of the surroundings.
Trpanj - below in the picture - is the ferry port of the peninsula (see above in the text). The dreamy little place with its extensive bay, beautiful beaches and good gastronomy should not only be seen as a stop on the way. That would be a shame. There is a lot to discover in and around Trpanj.
