Pelješacby Natasa Lujic
In 1333 the Republic of Ragusa bought Peljesac from the Serbian Kingdom of Tsar Dušan. The French Empire occupied the region in 1806 and abolishing the old Republic, turned it in 1808 into Illyrian Provinces region. In 1815 it was awarded to the Austrian Empire, since 1867 a part of the Cisleithanian part of the Dual Monarchy of Austria-Hungary. Between 1918 and 1991 it was a part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.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. Peljesac Peninsula retains a thriving agricultural business especially in winemaking. Dingac and Postup wine from Peljesac are appreciated throughout Croatia and Peljesac vineyards are open for visits.Peljesac offers myriad opportunities for outdoor activities, especially if you can appreciate a good beach. Peljesac has more than its share of sandy beaches: Trstenik, Prapatno, Trstenica beaches are all on sheltered coves. Please contact Natasa Lujic through the site for more info
