Čepikuće, Rural settlement in Dubrovačko Primorje, Croatia.
Čepikuće is a small rural settlement located in the elevated inland area of Dubrovačko Primorje in Dalmatia. The village sits among agricultural land and pastoral fields, representing the typical landscape pattern of this county region.
The settlement developed as an agricultural community during the Croatian colonization of the Dalmatian interior. Surnames such as Potrebica Andrijašević, Brbora, and Vrtiprah indicate that local families have maintained long-standing ties to this region.
The settlement reflects traditional ways of life typical of the Dalmatian coastal region. Residents engage in small-scale farming and animal husbandry, continuing practices passed down through many generations.
The settlement is best reached by car via local roads connecting it to the surrounding coastal region. The nearest major airports are roughly 45 to 50 kilometers away and offer the most practical arrival options.
The village is among the smallest inhabited communities in the region and faces steady population decline. This remote location and minimal population size make it a real example of the rural challenges facing southern Dalmatian areas.
