Žuljana - Pelješac

Pelješac (Chakavian: Pelišac, Italian: Sabbioncello) is a peninsula in southern Croatia, in the Dubrovnik-Neretva county. It is second largest peninsula in Croatia. From the isthmus that begins at Ston, to the top of Cape Lovišta, it is 65 km long. The name 'Pelješac' is most likely derived from the name of a hill above town of Orebić, which is Pelisac. This is a relatively new name for the peninsula. Throughout history other names have been used such as Stonski rat, Puncta Stagni, Ponta di Stagno and Sabioncello.

The Strait of Pelješac is located at its other end, and it divides the peninsula from the island of Korčula.

An additional connection between Pelješac and the mainland is planned to be created through the Pelješac bridge. Once completed, bridge would physically connect all of Croatia, which is broken due to the strip of Bosnia and Herzegovina that passing through Croatia, granting them sea access. Due to this, the start of construction has been continually delayed until shipping rights and boundaries can be properly defined between the two countries.

Zuljana is placed in the bay of the same name on the southern coast of Peljesac peninsula, connected to the mainland by coastal road via Ston and the ferry line from Ploce. Peljesac is well known for its excellent wines. The inhabitants of Peljesac traditionally live off of wine and olive growing, fishing and cultivation of mussels and oysters that belong to the specialties of Peljesac cuisine. One of the largest pebble beaches on the Adriatic lies in the bay of Zuljana, while the neighboring bay of Vucine is a favorite destination for sports fishing. Zuljana, known for its rural architecture, is a splendid place for a tranquil family holiday.
