Komin, Settlement in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia.
Komin is a small settlement in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, situated in the flat lowlands of the Neretva River delta near the town of Ploče. The area is made up mostly of farmland with scattered houses along the waterways.
The Neretva delta has been settled since ancient times, as shown by finds across the wider region. The river's fertile land drew farming communities here over many centuries.
The area sits within the Neretva River delta, where farmers have long grown citrus fruits, vegetables, and rice in the low, flat fields. This farming tradition shapes the rhythm of daily life in the village.
Komin is easiest to reach by car, as public transport connections in this rural area are limited. Basic services such as shops and restaurants are found in the nearby town of Ploče.
The Neretva delta is one of the very few places in Croatia where mandarin oranges grow outdoors, and the fields around Komin are part of this rare growing zone. In autumn, the trees turn orange and make the area easy to spot from a distance.
