Opanci is part of the Lovreć municipality in the Imotska Krajina region, deeply rooted in the Dalmatian hinterland. The place is known for its well-preserved traditional architecture, especially the massive stone houses and 'konobas' (wine cellars). The landscape is characterized by barren karst, small fertile valleys, and wide pastures. Opanci features a journey into the past, where life was still determined by the rhythm of nature and agriculture. Around Opanci, numerous 'stećci', medieval tombstones part of the UNESCO World Heritage, can be found, testifying to the region's long history. The village is an excellent destination for hikers who want to enjoy the silence of nature and wide views as far as the Biokovo mountain. Local gastronomy is based on simple but tasty ingredients such as homemade bread, cheese, honey, and meat dishes under the peka. Opanci is good for travelers seeking a slower pace and wanting to discover the real, unadulterated Dalmatia away from the coastal paths.
