Dubrovnik-Neretva County: Southern Dalmatia and the Pearl of the Adriatic
Croatia's southernmost county wraps around the lower Adriatic coast, separated from the rest of the country by a narrow strip of Bosnian territory at Neum. Dubrovnik-Neretva County has approximately 116,000 residents. Dubrovnik itself, with its intact medieval walls extending nearly two kilometres around the old town, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most photographed cities in the Mediterranean. The city's role as a filming location for Game of Thrones brought a surge in visitor numbers that prompted local authorities to introduce daily cruise ship passenger limits.
The Peljesac peninsula, extending northwest from the coast, produces some of Croatia's finest red wines, particularly Dingac and Postup from the Plavac Mali grape. The Peljesac Bridge, completed in 2022, now connects the peninsula to the mainland south of Ploce, eliminating the need to transit through Bosnia. The Neretva river delta at the county's northern end supports citrus and vegetable farming in a landscape of irrigation channels and small plots.
Tourism dominates the economy to an extent unmatched in most other Croatian counties. Accommodation ranges from luxury hotels within the old walls to apartments in Lapad and along the Riviera south towards Cavtat. Companion services listed on Escortservice.com cover the wider Dubrovnik area. The platform is a curated directory. All listed websites undergo a thorough verification process before acceptance.
