Further details
Viganj hosts an international windsurf and kite board competition each August. Other sporting activities include water skiing and wake boarding, snorkelling, scuba diving, sailing – small and blue water yachts, parascending, tennis, hiking and mountain biking. There are ample opportunities for cycling, walking or hiking either along the coastline or up the mountain. There is a 3 hour hike to the top of Mount Illija (961m), providing stunning views of Korcula Island. The Peljesac peninsula is famous as the producer of Croatia's greatest wines, among them Dingac and Postup. These wines are similar in strength, character and flavour to American Zinfandel. Korcula produces Croatia's most famous white wine, the Prosip. Locally made wine can be purchased from local markets, direct from wineries, farms or people's houses. Hire or take a boat to the nearby archipelago of Peljesac Channel, consisting of 20 islets, some of which are the most breathtaking in the Adriatic. Badija, with its 15th century monastery, Vrnik, is famous for its two quarries of white stone, and Majsan with prehistoric remains, are among the best known islands in the archipelago. Most of the islands are uninhabited, the vegetation is still naturally lush, and the water is blue and crystal clear. Other day trips by boat include the island of Hvar and the town of Split.
