Neum is the only town in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the Adriatic Sea, 114 mi/184 km southwest of Sarajevo. Its 14 mi/22 km coastline is, as a result, more built up than the Croatian coast on either side. In Neum, visitors can enjoy numerous watersports and activities.
Although Neum is not particularly attractive, nor does it have great beaches, the town and surrounding countryside is particularly interesting to visit as it contains stecci, unique medieval tombstones typically embellished with ancient tribal and other markings. These symbols are associated with the Bosnian Church, which was a religious sect that practiced a form of Christianity.
