The experience

You start from your Sarajevo hotel in the morning and travel south into Herzegovina with a professional guide. The route passes through Konjic, where a short break lets you grab coffee before heading to Kravice Waterfalls: a 25-meter cascade set in a natural amphitheater and protected as a natural rarity. The waterfall is the centerpiece of the drive, and the itinerary builds around it: you see the stepped Ottoman village of Počitelj on the way, a warren of stone houses climbing a rocky slope that has been under government protection since 2000.

Mostar itself takes up most of the afternoon. The Old Bridge, built in 1566 by the Ottoman architect Hayruddin, is the landmark that defines the city and earned it a place on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Beyond the bridge, the tour covers the Kriva Ćuprija (the oldest arch bridge in Mostar), the Hamam (a Turkish bath and one of the few remaining in the region), and the Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque, the second largest in the city. You can climb the mosque's minaret for a panoramic view of the Old Bridge and the Neretva River valley. The Kujundziluk Old Bazaar rounds out the stops, a warren of shops and cafes in the old quarter.

Blagaj comes earlier in the day, a small town built around the Spring of River Buna where the Darwish Tekke, a mysterious riverside lodge, sits at the water's edge. The contrast between the waterfalls, the medieval village, and the Ottoman architecture of Mostar means the day moves between three different periods and landscapes. An air-conditioned vehicle carries the group, and bottled water is provided throughout.
