Neum – BiH’s only exit to the Adriatic Sea

Neum is a town located on a hilly coast on the main highway between Dubrovnik (70 km) and Makarska (80 km). It is Bosnia and Herzegovina’s only exit to the Adriatic Sea, and its history is long and rich. Croats have lived here since the seventh century, and the area of Neum was ceded to the Turks by the Republic of Dubrovnik in 1718, and ultimately, with the signing of the Dayton Agreement, the Neum municipality became part of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Neum is located within the larger Maloston Bay, which is closed by the Klek peninsula. The bay is 6 kilometers long and 1.2 kilometers wide. Two islets, Veliki and Mali Škoj, also belong to Neum.

The Mediterranean climate with many sunny days a year makes it a desirable tourist destination throughout the year. Clean seaside air, a walk along the coast, night entertainment, and water sports will remain in your fond memories for a long time. Herzegovinian original cuisine and various seafood specialties from fish, crabs, and shellfish are only part of the rich gastronomic offer in hotels together with other ten family hotels and motels.

The Gallery with a large number of paintings is also very active in Neum. The hinterland of Neuma is rich in olive groves and vineyards, an ideal area for lovers of agrotourism. Several types of cheese, wine, brandy from vines and herbs, dried and salted fish, prosciutto, dried figs, honey, and woolen products are also produced.
