💡 Tips
- Visit the Narona Archaeological Museum in Vid, uniquely built directly over the remains of a Roman temple.
- Rent a kayak or SUP on the Baćina Lakes; the water is warmer than the sea and great for a summer dip.
- Head to the Modro Oko (Blue Eye) viewpoint to see a striking, deep-blue karst spring in a protected landscape.
- In autumn, join a mandarin harvesting tour to experience picking citrus fruit from a traditional boat.
- Explore the Ćiro cycleway, an old railway trail that takes you through the untouched hinterland scenery.

Pojezerje is a municipality in the northwest of the Dubrovnik-Neretva county, on the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. The area is a fascinating mix of barren karst rocks and fertile valleys. The name itself hints at the many small lakes and seasonal water areas that shape the landscape. The region's economy is based almost entirely on agriculture, particularly viticulture. The vineyards of Pojezerje are among the largest in this part of Croatia, producing excellent grape varieties like the red Plavac Mali. Visitors can visit local wine cellars and enjoy authentic gastronomy, often based on products from the Neretva Valley. Nearby are the Baćina lakes and the bird sanctuary of the Neretva Delta, making Pojezerje an under-the-radar destination for nature lovers. The tranquility of the hinterland provides a strong contrast to the busy coast of Makarska or Dubrovnik. A visit here allows insights into the traditional rural life of Dalmatia, far off the usual tourist paths.
