Municipality of Slivno: Bays, History and Wine
Accommodation in Municipality of Slivno
The Municipality of Slivno lies in the Neretva Valley and combines a varied coastline with places that offer different discoveries. The municipality includes 22 kilometres of coastline between the mouth of the Mala Neretva and Moračna Bay. Coves, peninsulas and smaller islands shape this stretch of coast. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can first consider whether beach days, culture, wine or water sports will be the main focus of your trip.
Pebble coves and a variety of coastal towns
The coast is dotted with picturesque coves with pebble beaches. Because of their relative distance from larger settlements, the coves are considered peaceful and relaxing. Klek lies in a bay surrounded by olive groves and has long pebble beaches. Rajska plaža beach is suitable for sunbathing. If you would like to combine time by the sea with a stay in a town, Klek is one possible base to consider; the town also has sports and leisure facilities.
The coast also takes different forms in its smaller coves: Duboka is a small, quiet cove beside a pine forest, with a pebble shore. In Duba, the beach and sea are considered the town’s main attractions. Komarna, meanwhile, is known for exceptionally clear seas and gentle Maestral winds. Vineyards on the slopes give the town an additional, distinctive landscape feature. These differences offer practical points of reference if you are looking for a particular coastal atmosphere in your holiday destination.
Klek’s history and culture
Klek is home to several historical landmarks from different centuries. The Nonković Tower dates from the 17th century; the ruins of Smrdan-grad above Klek also date back to the 17th century. A necropolis with Stećak tombstones from the 14th century adds to this historical picture. The Stećak Gallery is a meeting place for visual, performing and other artists. Thus, historical sites and an connection to art sit side by side in Klek, with its cultural character extending beyond any single era.
Vineyards and tastings in Komarna
For travellers who would like to include local wines and produce among their holiday interests, Komarna offers a different focus from the beach towns. The Terra Madre vineyards cover around 16.55 hectares; Terra Madre products from these vineyards are organically certified. Vinarija Terra Madre comprises a wine cellar, a tasting room and a terrace. Tastings feature Plavac mali, Pošip and rosé, accompanied by homemade Pršut, cheese, olives and bread. From the terrace, you can see the sea, the Pelješac Peninsula and the outlines of the islands of Brač and Hvar.
Active days at the Neretva delta
Blace lies at the mouth of the Neretva, where summer winds attract kitesurfers and windsurfers. The shallow water and steady winds in the estuary are considered particularly suitable for beginners in kitesurfing. Schools there offer kitesurfing lessons and equipment rental. If you would like to try this sport, that gives you a specific reason to include Blace in your holiday plans. This focus differs from a stay centred mainly on pebble beaches, historical landmarks or wine.
Slivno Ravno also shows another side of the municipality: the town lies at an altitude of about 229 metres above sea level and offers views of Pelješac and the surrounding islands. The Slivno Ravno region, officially the Municipality of Slivno, comprises 18 settlements at the confluence of the Neretva and the Adriatic. Depending on which of these landscapes and experiences appeal to you most, you can choose where to stay within the municipality accordingly.
