About Neum
Neum is the only coastal town in Bosnia and Herzegovina and is located at a 24-kilometer-long access to the Adriatic Sea, which divides Croatian territory into two parts. The small holiday resort with its beaches and hotels has established itself mainly as a budget alternative to the significantly more expensive Croatian neighboring towns - alcohol, cigarettes, and groceries are considerably cheaper here due to lower Bosnian taxes. From Neum, both Dubrovnik and the Pelješac Peninsula with its famous oyster farms and vineyards are quickly accessible. The town may not compete with the beauty of its Croatian neighbors, but it offers honest, affordable Adriatic holidays with a unique cultural mix.
