Orebić Viganj

Orebić and Viganj, on the Pelješac peninsula facing the island of Korčula, form a coastal area known for its pebble and sandy beaches lapped by clear water. Orebić, once home to a fleet of sea captains, still boasts fine stone houses and a Franciscan monastery perched on Gora hill, offering sweeping views over the channel separating the peninsula from Korčula. Viganj, a few kilometres to the west, is well known for its favourable wind conditions, making it a popular spot for windsurfing and kitesurfing. The area enjoys a warm, dry Mediterranean climate in summer, ideal for water sports and hiking in the surrounding hills. Pelješac is also known for its vineyards producing well-regarded red wines, often featured on local menus. For a relaxed meal by the sea, the konoba Karmela serves traditional dishes in a peaceful setting, with friendly service and generous portions that reflect the simplicity and authenticity typical of this stretch of the Dalmatian coast.
