Surrounded by ramparts and fortresses, it is a treasure trove of architectural and cultural masterpieces, scrupulously preserved over the centuries. Our tour includes a visit to the Dominican Monastery and Museum and the Franciscan Monastery Museum with its 14th century pharmacy.

TUE - Trsteno & Ston
With its exotic vegetation and plants including giant plane trees, palms and camphor trees, the Arboretum at Trsteno is a delight. After a leisurely stroll through the botanical garden, we head for Ston one of the first towns in Europe to be built to a definite urban plan and attracting hundreds of visitors to its five kilometre long stone walls. Other attractions include the old Saltpan where salt is still being produced and the famous oyster and mussel farm.

We drive along the coast to the town of Neum, and then turn inland through the mountainous areas of Herzegovina. After a brief stop above the Deransko Lake we drive along the Neretva River Valley to Mostar. During the Turkish rule, the city was an important trade centre and our guided tour will show us the city highlights including an old bazaar and the mosque. Our return drive takes us to Pöitelj, a picturesque fortress town rich in oriental architecture.
