Ploče, a town and seaport on Croatia's Dalmatian coast, holds historical and geographical significance. Situated north of the Neretva Delta, Ploče serves as the natural endpoint for north-south routes through the central Dinaric Alps and the primary seaport for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Holding Croatia's high temperature record of 42.8°C (109.0°F) in 1981, Ploče offers a warm climate.
