Tips

Sv. Ilija, the highest point on Pelješac (961 m), is definitely worth a visit. The views are great and the hike (by the easiest, "Nakovana" approach) can be done by moderately fit persons. Start on the nice, gravel/dirt fire-road (off Road 6215), and don't believe the stated 2h 30min hiking time to Ilija (unless you are a trail-runner). After ~4 km the fire road ends, and a narrow, rocky path and hiking proper start. The gradient increases notably, but it doesn't last long and most of the remaining trail is much gentler. Even though not technically difficult, don't take this trip too lightly! Summer heat can be devastating and one needs to be prepared for that. Also, check the weather forecast, as the last thing you want is hiking into a thunderstorm when arriving at the summit. Expect to hike around 3,5 hours up, if you are stopping and resting and doing it for pleasure, and not for training. If you want to descend directly towards Orebič - just DON'T! It's steep and exposed.
