Orebic spreads from the old part of town along the seashore inland, with numerous new homes and bed and breakfasts constructed behind this narrow belt.
Trstenik is situated on the southern coast of the Peljesac peninsula, and is connected to the mainland by the coastal road via Ston. Trpanj and the island of Mljet are connected by the ferry line Trstenik-Polace. The town is 20 kilometres from the ferry landing, and is situated in a deep inlet under the tall Peljesac hills, with a lovely pebble beach at the base of the bay. The bay is an anchoring spot, though it is not recommended in times of southern winds.
Mali Ston, the town with the longest walls in Europe is situated near Dubrovnik, and is surrounded by breathtaking scenery which, together with the picturesque city architecture, forms a harmonic entity. Here you can relax in untouched nature, and at the end of the day, try the oysters and mussels from the well known Ston aquaculture farms.
Kuna - The main economic activities of the town are agriculture and wine making. In the 19th century, citizens of Dubrovnik built the Gucetic castle and the first Church of St. Stephen at the graveyard (renovated at the end of the 19th century). The triple nave Church of Our Lady of Loreta (1681) is the most monumental Baroque structure in the Dubrovnik region outside of the Dubrovnik Old Town. The church contains marble altars from the workshop of the Brutapelle family, and paintings by Celestin Medovic. In 1705, the Franciscan monastery was built next to the church. The home of Celestin Medovic contains a collection of his paintings and the town has a monument to the painter, the work of Frane Krsinic.
