Mostar, Kravice and Ston 1-4person

Old Bridge Area of the Old City of Mostar The historic town of Mostar, spanning a deep valley of the Neretva River, developed in the 15th and 16th centuries as an Ottoman frontier town and during the Austro-Hungarian period in the 19th and 20th centuries. Mostar has long been known for its old Turkish houses and Old Bridge, Stari Most, after which it is named. In the 1990s conflict, however, most of the historic town and the Old Bridge, designed by the renowned architect Sinan, was destroyed. The Old Bridge was recently rebuilt and many of the edifices in the Old Town have been restored or rebuilt with the contribution of an international scientific committee established by UNESCO. The Old Bridge area, with its pre-Ottoman, eastern Ottoman, Mediterranean and western European architectural features, is an outstanding example of a multicultural urban settlement. The reconstructed Old Bridge and Old City of Mostar is a symbol of reconciliation, international co-operation and of the coexistence of diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities. The Walls of Ston (Croatian: Stonske zidine) are a series of defensive stone walls, originally more than 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) long, that surrounded and protected the city of Ston, in Dalmatia, part of the Republic of Ragusa, in what is now southern Croatia. Their construction was begun in 1358. On the Field Gate of the Walls (Poljska vrata) there is a Latin inscription which dates from 1506. Today, it is one of the longest preserved fortification systems in the world. The Walls of Ston were known as the "European Great Wall of China".

Boka Kotrska - Perast and Kotor 1-4person

Perast is a coastal town set beneath hills in the long bay of Kotor, close to islets of St. George and Our Lady of the Rock (Gospa od Škrpjela). Our Lady of the Rocks is an artificial island made of rocks. Legend says it was made when one of the brothers who lived there was miraculously healed. Perast resembles a mosaic made up of baroque buildings, including Saint Nicholas church on the main square and Bujović Palace, now a museum. Every summer, the Festival of Klapa songs is held in the town centre. After visiting wonderful and charming Perast, we are heading to the fortified town of Kotor. Natural and Cultural-Historical Region of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its preserved medieval architecture, which was part of the Venetian Works of Defence between the 15th-17th centuries, harmonious natural integration and rich cultural history. There are many legends and stories about the town founding, one of which is especially interesting. According to this myth, a fairy named Alkima advised king Stefan Dusan to build his town by the sea instead of the surrounding hills, saying that “without the sea, there is no life for them”. Another legend, a Phoenician myth, says the town was founded after Argonauts had conquered the Golden Fleece. This beautiful town still holds remains of the Roman, Gothic and Baroque times. The most notable buildings, to name a few, are Cathedral of St. Tryphon which is the main symbol of the town; Pima Palace, unique for its Renaissance-Baroque architecture; Grgurina Palace, today's Navy Museum; Drago Palace, famous for its beautiful 15th-century Gothic windows, and many more.
