Guide to Trpanj

'Trpanj is situated in a dramatic location at the end of a ravine on the Peljesac peninsula, yet it's a quiet sleepy port that enjoys the simple pleasures of life.'

Locals and visitors alike in Trpanj seem to love nothing more than pulling up a chair at one of the little cafes along the coast. From this idyllic spot you can drink a cup of coffee at your leisure, as you take in the soothing sound of the sea washing over the pebbles on the beach in front of you. Without moving a muscle you can also witness photogenic views of the Makarska Riviera's dramatic mountains, making for a pretty impressive backdrop. The crystal clear water all along the coast here makes Trpani very popular with swimmers, but it also appeals to anyone in search of a relaxing time by the sea. It's a very quiet location away from the main tourist hotspots, plus its small size and sheltered sea makes it an excellent choice for families with young children. When you've had enough of beach life, and want to explore a little more of your new surroundings, you can visit the nearby Bay of Duba. Or check out the port area, where you'll discover some first class fish at the restaurants lining the shore. The more adventurous amongst you could then board a ferry for Ploce, on the mainland, and continue your holiday by touring around the Mostar area in Bosnia-Herzegovina, historic Split, or fascinating Dubrovnik – the choice is yours.
