JANJINA, a village in the interior of the Peljesac Peninsula, at the foot of the Gradina hill (244 m), 2 km from the Drace harbour on the north-eastern coast. Janjina is located only 2 km from the Drace Cove, where tourists may enjoy bathing in the crystal clear sea and water sports.

 

 

 

Chief occupations are farming, viticulture and olive growing. Janjina is located on the regional road.
 
On the locality of Gradina above the village is an Illyrian hill-fort; around it are many tumuli. The walls of a Roman country mansion (villa rustica) and stelae from the 1st century have been found near the church of St. Stephen on the cemetery.
