Orebic

Orebic is situated on the southwestern segment of the Peljesac Peninsula at the base of Mount Ilija. Its glorious beaches are reported to be the finest in Southern Dalmatia. Its wide sandy coves are fringed by beautiful groves of tamarisk and pine. This quaint fishing town has magnificent views of the Adriatic Sea, the island of Korcula and the coastline of southern Dalmatia. For centuries, Orebic was an important shipping centre and was named after a family of distinguished seafarers. Its maritime interests have now been overtaken by a flourishing tourism industry.
There are exciting hiking or walking opportunities up Mt.Ilija which defends the town from prevailing winds from the north. There are other fascinating hiking trails, one of which reveals a Franciscan Monastery which was built in 1470 on a sheer ridge above the sea. The Maritime museum is worthy of exploration with its exhibits of paintings and other historic relics. There are regular excursions to the nearby island of Korcula and its ancient town.
This idyllic fishing village is an ideal location for a relaxing and peaceful holiday.
