Brijesta is a small village in the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, within the municipality of Ston, with only 165 permanent residents. If you rent accommodation in Brijesta, you will be just an hour drive from Dubrovnik and about 20 minutes from Ston. This quaint village, with its picturesque streets and cultural heritage, has gained more attention from tourists since the construction of the Pelješac Bridge, as it is located right at the bridge descent onto the Pelješac peninsula. Like all places on Pelješac, Brijesta is adorned with the magic of the sea and Mediterranean vegetation, while the residents cultivate vineyards and fish in the sea straits. Brijesta is surrounded by smaller islets, making it perfect for sport fishing and enjoying seafood delicacies. As a starting point for exploring the charms of Pelješac and the Dubrovnik region, Brijesta is ideally situated. From here, you can also take a trip to Mljet, as the ferry port Prapratno is only about a 15-minute drive away.
