Orebic, nowadays a
famous tourist destination, was known
as the maritime center of the southern
Dalmatian peninsula Peljesac, famous for
wines and wine growing. It lies on the
southern coast of the peninsula that is
connected to the mainland by road via
Ston and by ferry line Ploce - Trpanj.
The whole peninsula, covered with dense
evergreen and Mediterranean vegetation,
belongs to the warmest places on the Adriatic
thanks to the many sunny days. In Orebic,
there is a wide range of tourist services:
private and hotel accommodation, sporting
and recreational facilities (including
tennis courts and football fields), water
sports (all necessary
equipment
can be rented on the beaches), and
sailing and surfing courses. The surroundings
are ideal for walks, hiking and gathering
of plants, while the wine slopes in
the interior are dotted with wine
trails and wine cellars where you
can taste or buy homemade Peljesac
wine and "prosek" - a sweet
liquor made from grapes. There is
a large sandy beach in the bay of
Trstenica, while there are numerous
rocky bays with small beaches close
to Orebic for those looking for privacy.
Orebic is proud of its gastronomic
specialties, primarily oysters and
mussels bred in the area, as well
as its wines Dingac and Postup.
