A scenic route across the border takes you through some picturesque villages of rural Bosnia and Herzegovina as you approach the fantastic little city, Pocitelj. This small medieval town was built on a rocky cliff on the Neretva River, and it gives an excellent overview of the Ottoman Empire and the effect of the eastern culture on the small town in this zone. Pocitelj is a mixture of Oriental and Mediterranean construction styles that gives this town a particular dimension. Pocitelj is mentioned for the first time in writing in 1444 as the seat of the parish. The art colony, which contains approximately 2 000 artworks, is continuously exhibited at the gallery.
The most impressive building is the Hadji Alijina mosque dating back to the first half of the 16th century, which dominates the town. After the short sightseeing, taste the Turkish coffee prepared by the original recipe.

Later, enjoy a short ride to Mostar, a city from the past, the point of connection between the western world and the exotic eastern culture. Explore the city with a local guide and listen to all the hypnotizing historical anecdotes. You will find yourself mesmerized at the sight of the famous Stari Most,Old Bridge, a majestic stone arch above the Neretva River, connecting two medieval towers and giving the city a widely recognizable visual identity. Here you can testify to a kind spectacle performed specially for the citys visitors, young locals showing off in their daredevil stunts, throwing themselves off the twenty meters high Old Bridge into the icy water of the Neretva River. Mind you, not anyone can perform these acrobatic tricks. There is a unique crash course you would need to pay and attend before anyone lets you jump into the river from that height. So relax and enjoy while professionals do it the best way they can!

Cross over the bridge to check out the Ottoman quarter, which has been attractively restored after the war in the nineties. Check out the old Bazar and the Mosque, and then enjoy exploring the city on your own after the walking tour with a local guide. This city will inspire you with its oriental structured streets and buildings, friendly people, tasty food, and a distinctive coffee culture that might remind you of Turkey. So make the most of your free time here in Mostar to sit back and relax on one of the terraces, try out traditional food or explore the immense line of souvenir shops to bring back home some
