Herzegovina, the most southern territory of Bosnia Herzegovina, distinguishes itself from the rest of the country due to its historical, naturalistic and climatic characteristics.The traditional flavours of wine and food and its typical crafts products raise the tourist potential of this area even higher, rendering it a most attractive and varied region. Its Mediterranean climate encourages, above all in the Neretva River valley, the cultivation of fruits and vegetables, with an intense production of citrus fruits, kiwis, figs, pomegranates, melons, cherries, apricots, sweet-smelling peaches and tasty, seasonal vegetables.
In the woody and hilly areas, aromatic herbs and medicinal plants are picked, such as calendula, camomile, hawthorn, thyme, mint, St. John’s wort, lemon balm, juniper and, especially, lavender which, during its flowering, lets off into the air its delicate perfume.

In this region, cheese lovers can find dairy products to satisfy all tastes – among the most famous, the Livno (“Livanjski sir”) and the cheese in the bag (“Sir iz mijeha”) – fresh or seasoned, to taste perhaps together with fi ne local wines which, produced in the area’s small cellars, make up some of the best wines of south-eastern Europe.
