Water temperature…
Krvavac is located on the left bank of the Neretva river, embedded in the wide and fertile delta often referred to as the 'Croatian California'. The place is shaped by water; canals crisscross the landscape, where traditional 'lađa' boats are used for transporting products. Krvavac is famous for its vast mandarin groves, which turn the entire region into a bright orange in autumn. Life here follows the rhythm of the river. Visitors can participate in photo safaris through the delta to discover the rich birdlife and unique flora. The local gastronomy is exceptional, offering specialties such as frog and eel stew (Brujet), typical of the Neretva region. A cultural event of great importance is the 'Maraton lađa', a traditional boat race on the Neretva where teams from across the region compete. Krvavac features a completely different, green perspective of Croatia, far away from the typical seascapes.
