Staševica is located in the southernmost part of Croatia, in the hinterland of the port city Ploče and at the edge of the impressive Biokovo massif. The village is the heart of one of Croatia's largest continuous wine-growing areas, known as 'Jezero' (The Lake). Here, traditional grape varieties such as Plavac Mali and Trnjak are cultivated, reaching excellent quality due to the specific microclimate and fertile soil. The village preserves an authentic Dalmatian way of life, where agriculture and winemaking still play the main roles. Visitors can explore numerous local wine cellars to taste wines directly from the producers. Besides wine, the region is also known for its figs and citrus fruits. The architecture of Staševica is characterized by stone houses and the village church of Saint Eustatius. The location of Staševica is well-suited for excursions to the Neretva Delta, famous for its river safaris and mandarin plantations. The Baćina Lakes and the Adriatic coast are also reachable in just 15-20 minutes by car. Staševica provides a peaceful atmosphere away from the coastal roads and is a great destination for lovers of agrotourism and gastronomy seeking the true taste of Dalmatia.
