Stop At: Blagaj tekija, Blagaj village Localita Blagaj, Blagaj 88201 Bosnia and Herzegovina
Blagaj Tekija is a Dervish monastery outside Mostar, Bosnia, that’s nearly 600 years old. Situated at the base of a cliff, next to the source of the river Buna, it’s a unique and picturesque series of buildings that looks even better in person than it does in pictures.
The Tekija (or Tekke) was first founded during the height of the Ottoman empire. Time and rock slides have led to extensive repairs and reconstruction to the buildings. Today, thanks largely to a Turkish travel agency, the Tekke looks mostly as it did in the past.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Mostar Old Bridge, Mostar 88000 Bosnia and Herzegovina
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.

Had a great time with Kenan on this tour! We actually hit these tourist points on a transfer from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik. It was a great day and no one on our small shared tour felt rushed. Kenan is super energetic and brings a lot of positive energy to the tour. He is also extremely passionate about guiding and really wants you to understand the history and background of the sites. I highly recommend booking a tour with this agency.We had the best time with Kenan, such a nice guide and incredible tour!!! We loved our experience in this tour, so many interest places and not like most tours that are “too touristic” and really rushed. Definitely the best way to spend your day.
