Postranje is located in the fertile Imotski plain (Imotsko polje) in the Dalmatian hinterland. The region is known for its unique karst phenomena and deep-rooted winemaking traditions. Postranje itself is characterized by vast fields and vineyards where the local Kujundžuša grape variety thrives. The village's architecture is typical of the Dalmatian Zagora region, featuring robust stone houses built to withstand hot summers and cold winters. St. Michael's Church serves as the religious and cultural hub of the community. Life here follows a peaceful pace, far from the tourist crowds of the coast. A major highlight for visitors is the close proximity to the town of Imotski and its famous natural landmarks, the Blue and Red Lakes. These deep sinkholes are unique worldwide. The local cuisine features specialties like the Imotski cake and hearty meat dishes, often served with fresh vegetables from local gardens.
