Janjina is a quiet coastal village on the Pelješac peninsula in Croatia, surrounded by vineyards known for Pelješac red wines such as Dingač. In the village core, the Janjina old parish and viewpoints give hilltop vantage points over the Pelješac channels and an island-dotted Adriatic.
Many of the biggest draws are easy day trips by sea. Mljet is a wooded Adriatic island, and Mljet Nacionalni Park protects coastal lakes and forests. For smaller islands with a distinct landmark, Badija sits near Korčula with a historic monastery, while Olipa is a small islet near Dubrovnik with a historic lighthouse. On Korčula island, Korčula Cathedral stands out for its 15th-century architecture.
Back on the peninsula, Pelješac wineries near Janjina focus on Dingač and Postup, and nearby pebble beaches offer small coves for swimming and sunbathing.
