peninsula of Pelješac

Pelješac is the second-largest Croatian peninsula with a length of 65 kilometers, is located in southern Dalmatia.

The location and pleasant Mediterranean climate greatly influenced the development of viticulture and olive growing on the peninsula. Cultivation and nurturing of vines is a hundred-year-old tradition of Pelješac winegrowers.

LONG SANDY BEACH IN PRAPRATNO BAY

Just three kilometers west of Ston and a little less than an hour’s drive from Dubrovnik, there is Prapratno Bay. One of the most beautiful coves in this part of Pelješac with a long sandy beach in an area overgrown with pine forest. Almost nowhere is the sea so clean and warm! The summer mistral wind’s waves from the Mljet channel make this magical bay genuinely unique.
