A settlement in the interior of the Pelješac peninsula, located on the narrowest part of the peninsula, it is only about 2km away from both coasts.
In the past, Janjina represented the cultural and economic center of Pelješac (it was even called "Little Paris").
The economic basis of the place is agriculture, wine, and olive growing, which makes Janjina primarily a destination for guests who want to get to know the authentic way of life and local customs.
Janjina is 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 in the cemetery.
Important are also the remains of the pre-Romanesque church of St. George with a late medieval graveyard; on the fragments of its altar partition, adorned with "pleter" (interlace ornaments), is also an inscription of the donator Petar. A rustic relief with the sitting figure of St. Blaise has been built above the entrance to the former ducal palace.
The village features several nice captain houses from the 19th century; the dominating structure is the church of St. Blaise, built in the historicist style. Janjina has located only 2 km from Drace Cove, where tourists may enjoy bathing in the crystal clear sea and water sports.
