Water temperature…
Krvavac II is located in the heart of the Neretva Delta, a unique swampy and agricultural landscape in southern Croatia. The region is often referred to as the 'Croatian California' because the mild climate and water-rich soil favor the cultivation of citrus fruits, especially mandarins. The village sits on the banks of one of the many channels of the Neretva River. A characteristic feature of the region are the 'ladjas', traditional narrow boats once used for transporting goods and now central to the annual 'Marathon of Ladjas'. Visitors can take boat trips through the labyrinth of channels and observe the delta's rich birdlife, which is one of the most important wetlands in the Mediterranean. Local cuisine gives extraordinary specialties such as frog and eel stew (Neretvanski brudet), which can be sampled in rustic inns along the waterways. Krvavac II provides a peaceful atmosphere, far from classic seaside resorts, and is convenient for ecotourists and nature lovers who want to experience the authentic river landscape of Dalmatia.
