Nakovanj ili Nakovana (starosjedilačko ime), malo je naselje na poluotoku Pelješac u općini Orebić, Dubrovačko-neretvanska županija.Naziv sela Nakovane starog je i nepoznatog porijekla. Prvi se put spominje 1335. godine kao Nacovalda, potom 1357. kao Nacoualna te 1372. kao Nachovalna.Prema jednoj legendi, u ovom dijelu Pelješca su živjela tri brata kovača. Jednog su se dana odlučili podijeliti pa je jedan brat dobio kućište (malu kuću - kovačnicu) gdje je ostao živjeti. Prema toj legendi ime je dobilo obližnje naselje Kučište. Drugi je brat dobio viganj, što je bio naziv za kovački alat, te se nastanio na mjestu koje je zbog toga dobilo naziv Viganj, a treći od braće je dobio nakovanj pa je mjesto u kojem je odlučio živjeti dobilo ime Nakovanj.

very good!!!
Chloe
I loved the privacy of this location, the slow way of life, and the great connection with nature. The location was sparsely populated which was suitable for my husband and I to enjoy some alone and quiet time. We also went for morning runs in the beautiful forests

I went for hiking and mountain biking with my colleagues during our field trip to this location. It has a rocky and steep terrain hence we used it as a mode of exercise and had a great time.

My stay here was really amazing. The weather was perfect for kids. They said the trip was adventurous. We so ruins of several abandoned buildings. We also went hiking into its thick forest
Gusta
The iconic about this town is their amazing beautiful abandoned buildings. Most of the buildings are quite old. Most of the fortresses are in ruins but one could picture their plans. The locals were so so friendly. I loved this town.
Chiara
It is a small village just almost at the centre of the island. Legend has it that it belonged to a family of three brothers who then went ahead and split up later, the medieval ruins are still intact and still show detail of the ancient houses design, it was a nice visit
Tobias
The old village is a great place to tour if one is a fan of old cultural heritage, it has great history and stone ruins of old housing, just outside the village there is also a hiking trail which my buddies and i enjoyed trekking through and awakening our spirit of adventure.
