DIRECTIONS

Apartments Nikolica are located in Dingač (Pelješac peninsula), 95 km west of Dubrovnik. The most comfortable way to drive from Zagreb to Ploče by using A1 highway from Zagreb to Vrgorac, and then proceed to Ploče. From Ploče, you can either take a car ferry to Trpanj (5 times a day, www.jadrolinija.hr), or take the coastal road through Neum (BiH) and Ston. The distance between Trpanj and Dingač is 15 km. When you come to Potomje, turn on the second right (if you came by ferry) or first left (if you have chosen to go around Ston). Pass the tunnel and turn left (Dingač - "Borak"), then go right until you arrive (approximately 3 km). When you enter Dingač, will see the "Nikolica Apartments" sign on the right.

PELJEŠAC

The Pelješac peninsula is halfway between two Adriatic pearls, Split and Dubrovnik. The second-largest peninsula in Dalmatia enjoys a splendid Mediterranean climate, which has made it an ideal site for vineyards and winemaking. Pelješac is also famous for its salt pans, which many depended on for centuries, including Dubrovnik and its celebrated Republic. The ancient defensive rampart completes a trilogy of Pelješac symbols. The natives like to call their peninsula "nature in its primeval form." Pelješac Riviera is perhaps the warmest area of the Croatian littoral, an aromatic garden filled with almonds, nuts, figs, pomegranates, citrus fruit and kiwis.

The clear sea which makes Pelješac an attractive tourist destination finds its way to the dinner tables of the area's visitors. Amongst the numerous fishes, crab and shellfish species, special praise is reserved for the oysters. Mali Ston is notable for growing and preparing this delicacy which is, aside from its extraordinary flavor and nutritive values, said to have also aphrodisiac qualities.

DINGAČ

Dingač represents an ideal place for all those who enjoy natural beauties of the Mediterranean. It’s a favorite resort for family vacationers from all around Europe. Dingač and its surroundings are known for their wine growing tradition of grapes for Dingač, one of Croatia's best red wines, which are grown on the 45 degrees slopes of the same name.
