Kuna Pelješka is located on a plateau in the interior of the Pelješac peninsula. The village is known for its deep roots in art and tradition. The famous painter Mato Celestin Medović was born here, and his works can be admired in the local Franciscan monastery dating from 1705. The monastery serves as a cultural center with a valuable library and sacred artworks. A special feature of the town is the 'Antunović' donkey breeding station, which works to preserve the Dalmatian donkey. Visitors can experience the animals up close and taste local products such as donkey milk or homemade cheese. The surroundings of Kuna are characterized by extensive vineyards where the Plavac Mali grape variety thrives, forming the basis for the region's famous wines. For active travelers, the plateau gives convenient conditions for hiking and cycling with views of the surrounding peaks and the distant sea. Gastronomy in Kuna is rustic and authentic, with meat dishes often prepared under the 'peka' (a clay bell). The tranquility of the village makes it a well-suited alternative to the busy coastal towns of Pelješac.
