Sightseeing on Peljesac

Ston Walls

While on Peljesac make sure to visit the Ston Walls, the second-largest wall fortification after the Wall of China. Ston Walls were built for the protection of the saltworks (also worth seeing while on Peljesac). They were damaged in several earthquakes, but today they are restored and you can visit them. In fact, there is also a race that partly takes place on the Walls. It is called the Ston Wall Marathon and it is held each year in September.

When we talk about sports activities on Peljesac we should say that Peljesac is special since it has strong winds which are great for all sorts of water sports from windsurfing to kite surfing. Actually, a lot of windsurfing regattas, competitions, and championships take place in Viganj on Peljesac throughout the year.

Daily trips from Peljesac

When you get tired of Peljesac and we promise you won't, you might want to consider taking a daily trip. Our Vip Concierge Team can help you with the choice of daily excursions from Peljesac. Here are some top picks:

• First of all, we recommend you to visit Korcula. Korcula is a nearby island with lots to offer. From excellent cuisine to nightlife and events. While there make sure to visit Lumbarda and its sandy beach, the birth house of Marco Polo in the town of Korcula, and check events with Moreska dance. If they take place while you are on Peljesac make sure to visit Korcula on those days because you will see a unique costumed dance that symbolizes the fight between Croats and Moors.

• Our second recommendation is the island of Mljet which is also a National Park. You will enjoy the awesome nature there. You can also take a swim in the lake within the island which is also a unique experience.

• Our third choice is Dubrovnik. We have already written about Dubrovnik several times. In order not to repeat ourselves here we will link only one blog with a lot of useful info for future travelers to Dubrovnik: Top 5 things to do in Dubrovnik.

• Mostar – our next recommendation is the town of Mostar. Situated in the neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina you will be able to experience its Islamic part and feel like you are in Turkey or some other Muslim country.
• Last but not least is the town of Medugorje. It is a Marian sanctuary where a lot of people go for pilgrimage.

How to get to Peljesac?

From Split, the fastest way is to take highway A1 (enter at Dugopolje and take the Ravca exit).

The other way is the state road D8. This is a scenic route, but bear in mind that during the summer months you could get into traffic jams due to a large number of tourists on this road.

Both routes include a border crossing to Bosnia and Herzegovina. If you wish to avoid it, take a car ferry from Ploce to Trpanj on Peljesac. We wish you a bon voyage and a great luxury vacation on Peljesac.

If you are traveling from Dubrovnik you can find the details about it as well as the Google Map instructions in our blog How to get to Korcula from Dubrovnik as Peljesac is on the way.
