Apartments Leonida are located in DRACE, a village and cove of the same name on the northern coast of Peljesac Peninsula, 30 km northwest of Ston and 92 km northwest of Dubrovnik. The cove is a part of the spacious bay of Bratkovica, open to the north. The bay has a number of coves (Drace, Stinjivac, Blazevo and Brijesta). Chief occupations are tourism, farming and fishing. Smaller yachts may dock in the harbor (depth 1.3 - 3 m), protected from all winds by a breakwater. The village lies on a local road, branching from the regional road leading through the Peljesac Peninsula, 3 km northeast of Janjina.

Our house is only 10 meters from the sea, with a small private beach our guests can use. From our terrace located on the top of our house you will enjoy fantastic views over the sea and islands.
