Dalmatian vocal ensembles |
| For
the past 10 years, our town has been a traditional gathering
place of Dalmatian vocal ensembles (klape).
They cherish the love for the traditional Dalmatian song and
the authentic Dalmatian word. Every year, this manifestation
takes place at the town market. The unique acoustics of Opuzen
small and narrow streets (kale) contributes to the
atmosphere. |

| If you wish to run away from
Klek for a moment, a visit to Opuzen, a small Dalmatian
town close by, would be a perfect solution for you. Why?
It abounds in entertainment events. During the summer,
many folk games and festivities are organized in this small
Dalmatian town. |

Wine-makers evening
(a selection of the best wine and domestic brandy)
and the fish stew competition (brudetijada - preparing
the best fish stew) are only an introduction to the
series of unique events the people of the Valley live
for the entire year. |
|
|
 |
|
 |
The town
market is also the venue for numerous folk
games organized
almost every night. They attract the hosts and the
visitors alike. They participate with equal zeal. |

Every
inhabitant of the Valley will highlight the Traditional
Boat Marathon (Maraton lađa) as
an important event. 40 000 visitors honor this unique
show, the attraction you can only wish for, watching
the traditional boat race with pirate crews along the
Neretva River shore. It reminds of the ancient history
of the pirates of the Neretva region, and the famous
old-time vessels. The people of the Valley have defended
and preserved their river, its delta, and the adjacent
part of the sea. For centuries, life could not have been
imaginable for workers, fishermen and hunters of this
area without these traditional boats (and the flat-bottomed
boats called trupice).
With the first days of October, the Neretva River Valley
assumes a golden color. This is the sign that the fruit
of the endless mandarin orchards is ready to be picked.
The sun and sea most certainly aren't our only
attributes, and the best we can do is to wish You a warm
welcome so You could see for yourself why we deserve
to be called THE GOLDEN VALLEY. |
