Kućište is a historic village on the southern coast of the Pelješac peninsula, facing the town of Korčula across the sea. The village is famous for its wealthy maritime heritage, evident in the elegant Baroque stone mansions once owned by local sea captains. A prominent landmark is the 18th-century Church of the Holy Trinity, one of the most beautiful examples of Baroque architecture in Dalmatia. Today, Kućište is a world-renowned destination for active travelers. The Pelješac Channel creates a natural wind tunnel, providing first-rate conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing, attracting enthusiasts from all over the globe. The pebble beaches are narrow but pleasant, offering some of the best views of Korčula’s medieval walls. It is a peaceful alternative to larger resorts, yet full of sporting energy. The area is also a haven for wine lovers, as Pelješac is the home of the prestigious Plavac Mali grapes. Walking along the shoreline to the neighboring village of Viganj is a popular activity, especially at sunset. Since the opening of the Pelješac Bridge, Kućište has become much easier to reach, making it a good spot for those seeking history, sport, and world-class gastronomy in one place.
