Pelješac is a peninsula in southern Croatia, in the Dubrovnik -Neretva county, just about an hour and a half drive from Dubrovnik. It is around 70 km long and is connected with Croatian Mainland at Ston.
The Pelješac Channel divides the peninsula from the island of Korčula. Scattered like breadcrumbs across the foothills of the dolomites, the hamlets and villages of southern Peljesac evoke an ancient past. The rocks, the vegetation, the groves of pine and cypress - everywhere a sense of timelessness prevails. On the hills above the sea, abandoned villas and gardens, stone walls and columns lie crumbling in the sun.

Windsurfing is very popular sport at Peljesac. People all around Europe come to windsurf at Viganj and surounding area.

Another popular sport activity arround Peljesac is walking an hiking too. There is a old tradition of local people to climb Sveti Ilija Mountain which dates long before tourists arrived in these areas. There are couple of well known routes to climb Sveti Ilija - one from Viganj and another from Orebic. Another popular walking route is along Peljesac coast at mid-hight from Viganj via Bilopolje to Orebic. This route is also popular among mountain bikers.
