Pelješac is the second largest peninsula in Croatia and endowed with a beautiful nature that is waiting to be discovered by you. From the city of Ston, famous for its 5 km long stone walls in the eastern part of Pelješac, to the city of Orebić in the western part of Pelješac, famous for the centuries long maritime tradition and not less famous for its perfect weather conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing, the peninsula offers a variety of options for active and adventurous spirits.
