Peaceful Podobuče




Podobuče is one of those unforgettable destinations which you will want to return to again and again. The great thing about this tiny village on the Adriatic is its lack of facilities! There are just two konobas (cafes/restaurants) and then just several homes all perched around a sheltered cove and pebbled beach. It really is a haven of peace and tranquility. Accessing it is not for the faint hearted. To get to Podobuče you need to take a small winding road from nearby Postup (just off the main regional road on the Peninsula about 4-5 kilometres from Orebic on the Dubrovnik side near to Vila Antonio) - the road clings to cliffs for most of the way and is single-lane with rocks cut out every now and again to allow cars to pass by each other. Once you arrive at Podobuče, you'll need to leave your car in the designated parking area and then descend via a very steep and winding path to the village. You'll know you've arrived at Podobuče because you can't go any further - its at the end of the line - literally! However, the effort is really worth it! Podobuče is perfect for a lazy afternoon - take a swim, read, laze on the beach and have a drink while the sun sets! There are apartments and rooms for rent in Podobuče but you will need to stock up on supplies before you arrive - the nearest shops are in Orebic! Podobuče seems to be popular with arty types out of season while families seem to gather in during peak season. I'll post more information again about Podobuče...
