Komin is located right on the right bank of the Neretva river and is one of the most distinctive villages in the Neretva Delta. The settlement hugs the Galičak hill and stretches along the river. The place is famous for its vast mandarin plantations, which color the entire landscape bright orange in autumn. Life in Komin is inextricably linked to the river. Every year in August, the village is one of the key points during the Maraton lađa, a spectacular race using traditional boats (Lađa) from Metković to Ploče. The residents of Komin are known as passionate rowers and often provide the winning teams of this competition. Worth seeing is the Church of Saint Anthony of Padua, which sits high above the village offering a wide view over the delta. Near Komin, visitors can enjoy kitesurfing at the mouth of the Neretva or observe the rich birdlife in the marshes. Local gastronomy features specialties like frog and eel stew (Neretvanski brudet), which should be tried in the local taverns.
