Mostar and Blagaj Tekke Photo Tour from Split

Overview

Join us on an adventurous photography day tour to Mostar, one of the greatest legacies of 4 centuries of Ottoman rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Many of the 16-19th century buildings in the Old Town have been given back their original glory. The Old Bridge across the Neretva river has also been restored, enabling the 477 year diving competition to continue, at the end of every July. On the way to Mostar, a short stop above the Blue Lake in Imotski is mandatory to appreciate the huge sinkhole on the edge of town with its 200 meter deep lake.

Itinerary

1. The very center of interest in Mostar, the old stone bridge is the origin of the settlement's name (most means bridge). Traversing the turquoise Neretva River, it is also the location from where divers plunge into the cold water for a handful of change collected from passers-by.

2. Blue Lake

   A brief stop enroute to Mostar, this impressive water-filled depression sits right alongside modern-day town of Imotski. Your guide will take you to a great panorama spot, and if the weather is clear, you can also admire the Biokovo mountain.
