A peninsula in southern Dalmatia. It is situated between the Neretva and Malostonski channel in the northeast, and between Pelje?ac and Mljet channel in the southwest. The vineyards stretch across the inland of the island.
The northern areas are covered with macchia and pine woods, while citrus fruits thrive in the southern parts. The fundaments of the economy are agriculture, wine-growing (Dingach red wine), olive growing, fishing, salt panning (salt works in Ston), shell farming and tourism.
The regional road crosses the island and a ferry link connects Orebić-Korčula and Trpanj-Ploče. Main resorts: Orebić, Viganj, Trpanj, Ston, Kuna Pelje?ka?
The peninsula had been already settled in the pre-historic times. Numerous findings from the Roman times can be seen near Orebić, Viganj and Ston. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, it came under the Byzantine rule. It was then ruled by Neretljans, Zahumska dukedom, and by the Dubrovnik Republic from 1333 to 1808.
Fransciscan monasteries in Ston and Orebić originate from the late Middle Ages. Stone fortresses were built during the reign of the Dubrovnik Republic. Since 17th century, the island?s economic prosperity has been linked to the development of Pelje?ac?s shipping industry.
Today, Orebic is an important tourist resort, offering various accommodation facilities (hotels, apartments), long sand beaches, numerous small coves and clear seawater, as well as sports and recreational facilities and opportunities (tennis courts, football; yachting, windsurfing), outstanding gastronomic offer - especially seafood and famous Peljesac wines (Dingac, Postup) - and pleasant walks in the surroundings. The cemetery near the church of Our Lady of Karmen above Orebic, the final resting place of Peljesac-born captains, offers a beautiful view on the island and the town of Korcula, as well as on numerous islets in the Pelje-sac Channel. Below the Franciscan monastery and the church is a forest of cypress, protected as a -forest park. The ships passing through the Peljesac Channel sound their sirens to greet the church of their patron saint and the resting place of deceased captains, and are replied by sounding of the monastery bells.
Close to the monastery is the village of Karmen with several mediaeval monuments. It is the starting point of walking tours to the picturesque upper villages of Ruskovici, Stankovici and Podvlastica. One of the favourite ascents to the peak of Sveti -Ilija (St. Elias) (961 m) also starts here.
Numerous traditional religious feasts take place in Orebic and the surroundings, the most notable being the feast day of Our Lady of Karmen (16th of July). Theatre tours are organized in the summer months, as well as other cultural events and entertainment programs.
