Tour details
Day 1: Istanbul – Sarajevo
Meeting in front of the airline counter at the departure terminal of Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport. Depart at 13:15 to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with AJet flight VF97. After a comfortable flight, arrival at 14:30 local time and, after entry procedures, we depart with our private vehicle waiting in the area. After our arrival, we will visit a city that has been the cultural capital of the Balkans for centuries and went down in history as the place where World War I broke out following the assassination of Austrian-Hungarian Crown Prince Archduke Franz Ferdinand by the Serbs in 1914. In the 1992 war, it suffered heavy damage as a result of the devastating wars between Serbs, Croats, and Bosniaks, but Sarajevo largely managed to preserve its beauty. During our panoramic city tour, we will see the famous Baščaršija, the historic Ottoman inn Morica Han, the Catholic Cathedral reflecting the city’s religious cosmopolitanism, the Synagogue, the Gazi Husrev-bey and Ferhadija Mosques, the Latin Bridge where Franz Ferdinand’s assassination took place in 1914, the Old Library, and the western-style buildings formed during the city’s 40-year Austro-Hungarian administration.

Day 2: Sarajevo – Počitelj – Blagaj – Mostar – Sarajevo

This bridge was destroyed during the 1992 war, but thanks to the major contributions of the Republic of Turkey, it was rebuilt in 2004 in accordance with the original and has once again become the symbol of Mostar today. Around this bridge, which gracefully connects the two banks of the Neretva River, we will have the chance to stroll through the historic bazaar and stone streets.
