According to Agencija Za Obalni Linijski Pomorski Promet , from 13.11.2011 ferry company ‘Mediteranska plovidba’  from Korčula will cease to serve foot passenger ferry line Orebic – Korcula.

Since 1989 the ferry line no 614, connecting Orebić at Pelješac Pennsula with Korčula Town was served by ferries ‘Lovor’ and ‘Tamaris’ run by ‘Mediteranska Plovidba’. Due to company’s financial difficulties, it is now forced to withdraw from this service.

Info about new ferry company that will continue to serve this important ferry line will be known after 08.11.2011.

Through the restauration, Barabanata Tower has been converted into art gallery while restoration of the Arcimun Tower converted this tower to events venue with video wall and multimedia centre.

The walls of Ston were open to the pubic two years ago after quite a few years of laborius work.

Ston walls were built in the 14th century, in 1334, soon after the Dubrovnik Republic took over Peljesac Peninsula . This monumental defence system, the great wall, was built for protection of its inhabitants and was one of the largest fortified urban construction in Europe in those times.

Nowadays, there are only five kilometres of the Walls left as the rest was destroyed in the earthquakes during the 17th and 20th cetruries. The walls were fortified with about 40 towers and 5 forts built around Ston and Mali Ston towns at Peljesac Peninsula. Read more about Ston, its walls, salworks and oysters

Milan Tolj is amateur photographer from Orebic, who regularly uploads photos of Peljesac Channel and Korcula Town to our KorculaInfo.com Facebook fun page.

Milan is lucky to live in Borje, a small hamlet about 8 km od Orebić, a stretch of coast that has great views over the Skoji Archipelago, so his photographs often feature views over Stupe – the small island with very good restaurant or over Setrice – a cute island with romatic lighthouse.

The above image is ‘print screen’ of series of Milan’s sunset photos of well known vista towards Sv.Ivan horn on Peljesac Peninsula. The series is presented in timelapse – relaxing and romantic manner.

Time Out has published a good article on culinary tour around Peljesac and Korcula – this is an extract:

‘The local ingredients are tremendous, the cooking is straightforwardly stylish and there are dozens of wineries, all of which will be delighted to welcome you in for tastings accompanied by authentic local dishes. We’ll go back to Pelješac and Korčula again and again – it’s got just as much sun, comparably good food and far friendlier locals than Tuscany, without the latter’s Chiantishire overcrowding.’

Here is an excerpt from the article:

‘Standing on the steep slopes of the Saints Hills vineyard on the Peljesac peninsula in Croatia, Dubravka Serkovic, a local producer, says wine has been made here “for ever”. It certainly goes back to the ancient Greeks. These slopes produce Dingac, a wine distinguished, says Sasa Spiranec, a local wine writer, by the fact that the vineyards run sharply down to the sea, meaning all cultivation has to be done by hand. Croatia has some 2,500 winemakers producing for the market (many thousands more produce their own)…. ‘
