Coast light turns the Adriatic silver at first light, the road bends inland, and the Neretva valley opens towards emerald pools. At Kravica, white water fans over limestone into clear basins, shade sits under willow and poplar, and marked areas allow a cool swim in season. With a full day you can add the riverside Tekija at Blagaj or a short old town loop in Mostar.

Top story for the route Leave Dubrovnik early and cross where hills turn from karst grey to the green of the Neretva. Reach Kravica before midday when light lifts over the bowls. Walk the path to the main terrace for a wide view, then follow the shore to quieter coves.
Swim in marked zones, sit for thick coffee in the shade, and listen to the falls carry across the trees. If you have time, add Blagaj for the dervish house by the river spring or a Mostar stop for a view of Stari Most.
