Orebic
is a port town and municipality in the Dubrovnik-Neretva county in Croatia. It is located on the Peljesac peninsula. Orebic is directly across a strait from the town of Korcula, located on the island of the same name. Ferries service the two towns frequently.
Tourism is a significant source of revenue for local residents during the summer months. Tourism first began in the 1960s, when a large number of non-local residents (mostly from larger cities in the then Former Yugoslavia) built homes for use during the summer months. In subsequent years, tourists from other countries began to visit. Today, people from Hungary, Germany, and Italy most frequently visit the town during the summer months.
The Franciscan monastery of Our Lady of Angels is a popular attraction. Visitors are also drawn to the Mount of Saint Elijah (Croatian brdo Sv. Ilija) located behind the town which offers a good view of the island of Korcula and the Adriatic Sea.
