| Mostar |
| The Mediterranean
Jewel Of The Balkans |

| April 2005
There is something
about the Balkans that stirs up feelings and emotions you didn’t know you
had. The first time I visited Mostar, I saw a city that inspired
me. Of course Mostar has inspired writers, painters and artists from the
former Yugoslavia for generations. Now the secret is out and foreign
artists are increasingly visiting Mostar to renew their creativity and
passion for their art.
Sadly beautiful,
Mostar is a city like no other. Mediterranean because of its weather, the
lush mountains surrounding it, the beautiful Neretva river flowing through
it and the way it makes you feel. |

Mostar is mid-way between Sarajevo and Dubrovnik on the Croatian coast
and an easy day trip from both places. It is definitely worth it and best
to stay a couple of days at least if you possibly can. Visit www.almira-travel.ba
for information about visiting Mostar and its environs. In the old
town, artisans practicing their craft for generations sell their wares.

Mostar is famous
for the divers that dive off of the Old Bridge into the river below.
There is a diving club and during the summer, courageous Mostarians can
be seen jumping off the bridge. |

Mostar. One is Blagaj, a city built in the middle ages about 12 km.
away from Mostar. Blagaj is home to a feudal castle built in the fifteenth
century as well as a Turkish Baroque home of Dervishes built in 1466.
Pocitelj is another city built in the middle-ages that is perhaps one of
the most exquisite places in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
