A day trip to these jewels of the Croatia coastline will leave you awestruck at their natural beauty and spellbound with their historical roots.The Pelješac peninsula personifies all the best of the Mediterranean – a spectacular coastline and wild interior, hidden coves and beaches, vineyards, oyster bays, historic towns and villages, delicious food and great wines. The long and thin peninsula of Pelješac is the second longest in Croatia stretching out almost fifty miles into the crystal clear Adriatic Sea. A combination of the mild climate, hours of sunshine and ideal soil makes the area renowned for its wine production.
Along the coast, vineyards perch above the sea on near-vertical slopes and produce the grapes for some of Croatia’s finest wines. As we wind our way along this spectacular peninsula every corner brings a new surprise, a new panorama.
You will also have the opportunity to taste some of the specialties of the peninsula and, of course, try a glass of wine or two. A short ferry trip brings you to the magical island of Korčula and its forbidding walled town. In fact approaching the island from the sea gives you some idea of the sight that mariners were greeted with centuries ago. The walled city, birthplace of Marco Polo, was mentioned in the 10th century and every pristine stone has its own special history. Two spectacular destinations in one day all combined with exceptional cuisines and fine wines. As the aphorism says 'A day without wine is like a day without sunshine'.
