Dalmatia S.

Region

South Dalmatia is the southernmost part of Croatia, featuring Dubrovnik, Korčula Island, the Pelješac Peninsula, and Mljet National Park. Since 2022, the Pelješac Bridge has directly connected the region with the rest of the country.

Dubrovnik is known for its well-preserved city walls around the Old Town. On Pelješac grow the wines of Dingač and Postup, in the Bay of Mali Ston oysters are farmed, and Ston itself has one of Europe's longest fortifications. Car ferries run from Orebić to Korčula and from Prapratno on Pelješac to Mljet; from Dubrovnik, catamarans sail to Mljet and seasonally also to Korčula.
