Orebic is an attractive developed yet unspoilt town on the beautiful, wine-growing Peljesac Peninsula, with a peaceful, pedestrianised seafront with historic buildings from 17th Century. It offers comprehensive facilities, sandy beaches, many shops, a museum and art collection providing insights on the town's interesting history of sea captains. The historic island of Korcula (birthplace of Marco Polo) can be reached by ferry in 15 minutes. Local restaurants provide Dalmatian food (seafood specialties) and the Peninsula's famous red wines 'Dingac' & 'Postup'. Recreational activities include hiking, excellent cycle paths, windsurfing, sailing, football, basketball, volleyball, tennis and pleasant walks in the surrounding countryside. The wonderfully clear sea is highly renowned for scuba diving and snorkelling. Mount St. Elijah (3153 ft) protects Orebic from winter winds and offers fantastic excursions for hikers to the top where you have splendid views over the archipelago of islands
