Ston and the Neretva delta
Where the Neretva meets the sea, the rocky coast gives way to a flat green delta of channels, reeds and mandarin orchards. Some of the farmland can still only be reached by boat.
We begin in Ston and then cross the new bridge towards the river.

The plan
Ston
An early walk past the walls and salt pans, before the heat.

Opuzen and the delta
Flat land cut by waterways and planted with citrus. In season you can glide through the channels in a traditional boat with a local boatman.
Metković
The valley's market town and the turning point of the day.
Good to know
Come in October or November to see the mandarin harvest. Boat rides are booked and paid separately, so mention it in the enquiry.
