Municipality of Slivno

The Municipality of Slivno is a coastal municipality in the Neretva Valley. Slivno Ravno, officially the Municipality of Slivno, comprises 18 settlements at the confluence of the Neretva and the Adriatic Sea. The municipality has 22 kilometres of coastline between the mouth of the Mala Neretva and Moračna Bay. The coastline is dotted with numerous coves and peninsulas, as well as several smaller islands.

The coastal stretches differ in their described landscapes. Picturesque coves with pebble beaches are considered peaceful and relaxing because they are relatively far from larger settlements. Klek lies in a bay surrounded by olive groves and has long pebble beaches. Rajska plaža in Klek is suitable for sunbathing; there are also sports and leisure facilities there.

Smaller coves also shape the coastline: Duboka is a small, quiet bay 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 water and light Maestral winds; vineyards lie on the town’s slopes. These differences can help you choose where to stay based on coastal scenery, beaches or water sports.

Several different cultural landmarks come together in Klek. The Nonković Tower dates from the 17th century. The ruins of Smrdan-grad, also dating from the 17th century, lie above Klek. The town’s necropolis includes stećak tombstones from the 14th century. Those interested in historic buildings and tombstones will find various aspects of regional history here.

Another cultural destination is the Stećak Gallery in Klek. It is a meeting place for visual, performing and other artists. Together with the beaches and sports and leisure facilities, it highlights different sides of the town, so you do not have to limit your trip to a single theme.

In Komarna, the Terra Madre vineyards cover about 16.55 hectares; their produce is certified organic. Vinarija Terra Madre comprises a wine cellar, a tasting room and a terrace. Tastings include Plavac mali, Pošip and rosé, accompanied by homemade pršut, cheese, olives and bread. From the terrace, you can look out over the sea, the Pelješac Peninsula and the outlines of the islands of Brač and Hvar.

Water sports are particularly associated with Blace and the Neretva estuary. Its location at the estuary and the summer winds attract kiteboarders and windsurfers. The shallow water and steady winds there are considered especially suitable for beginner kiteboarders. Schools in the estuary area offer kitesurfing lessons and equipment rental. If you organise your choice of location around your interests, the coastal towns, Komarna’s vineyards and the water sports opportunities near Blace offer different options.
