Klek is a small Dalmatian village just north of the Neum border, with Split around 1 hour 50 minutes away by road. It suits a quiet stay, but with fewer than 200 residents there is little going on in the evening.
Klek is a village of fewer than 200 residents in southern Dalmatia, part of the municipality of Slivno. The town of Neum lies just across the border in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Klek and neighbouring Komarna both have beaches. A channel separates the Klek peninsula from Pelješac, and the Bay of Mali Ston beyond it holds the largest oyster cultivation facilities in the Adriatic. The homes are spread around the village rather than clustered, mostly small, with a garden at most of them and a private pool at very few. Everything is on a small scale, so check restaurant opening times before an off-season visit.
Neum is the town just across the border in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the coast road runs for 9 km through that country.
Across the channel from Klek, the bay has the largest oyster cultivation facilities in the Adriatic, and mussels are farmed there too.
Pelješac is the 65 km long peninsula across the channel; the bridge that opened in 2022 lets drivers reach Dubrovnik without leaving Croatia.
Fly to Split, about 1 hour 50 minutes from Klek by road, or take a FlixBus from Split bus station that takes around three hours. Dubrovnik Airport has year-round flights from London. A car is the sensible way to get around.
Klek is in Croatia, in Dubrovnik-Neretva County. Neum, the nearby town across the border, is in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so a border sits close by.
Yes, since the Pelješac bridge opened in 2022 drivers can reach Dubrovnik from the rest of Croatia without leaving the country. Before that, the coast road ran through a 9 km strip of Bosnia and Herzegovina at Neum.
Yes. The Bay of Mali Ston, just across the channel from Klek, has the largest oyster cultivation facilities in the Adriatic, and mussels are farmed there as well.
Split is the one to price first: Split to Klek is about 1 hour 50 minutes by road. Dubrovnik Airport, with year-round London flights, is the other option.
