Neum is a quaint little place and deserves a lot more recognition. If you're wanting to include a bit of the Adriatic in your next summer trip to Bosnia, take a few days out to visit Neum!

There are a few modern hotels there, but mainly low rise. Mostly it is a town of small shops, restaurants and bars. We were there in April and had the place almost to ourselves. Delicious seafood in a restaurant right by the sea at prices considerably lower than in neighbouring Croatia. The road from the coast to Mostar is also lovely and a 'wine road' is being developed, promoting the small vineyards. Bullet marks can still be seen in the buildings in some places - a reminder of how much the people of this country need our support, even if their politicians are sometimes still living in the 'dark ages'.
