Begin in historic Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where you’ll visit the beautiful, renowned Old Bridge, whose rebuilding has come to symbolize the rebirth of the Balkan States. Then see the great Old Towns of Split and Trogir, whose cobblestones, ancient buildings and narrow lanes combine the richness of the past with the vibrancy of the present.
Itinerary
Day 1 - Dubrovnik, Croatia / Disembark Ship / Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Disembark this morning and drive to historic Mostar, in Bosnia & Herzegovina. This beautiful town spans the Neretva River and is famed for its Old Bridge. This spectacularly graceful bridge stood between 1556 and 1993, when it was destroyed during the Yugoslav civil war. It has now been lovingly rebuilt, using stone from the original quarries, and the bridge and the surrounding Old Town are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take a walking tour of this historic town, and have additional free time to explore on your own. Your accommodations are at the Hotel Mostar or Hotel Mepas, and you'll have dinner at a local restaurant. (B,L,D)
Day 2 - Dalmatian Coast / Trogir, Croatia / Split
A morning drive takes you along the Dalmatian coastline. Arrive in medieval Trogir, a small island town also designated a UNESCO Site, whose main square, cathedral, streets and alleyways invite exploration. We have a typical Dalmatian lunch at a local restaurant. Continue to Split, check in to the Hotel Park and enjoy the evening exploring Split on your own. (B,L)
Day 3 - Split
The morning is devoted to the archaeological highlights of Salona, which was capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and the likely birthplace of the emperor Diocletian. In the afternoon, explore Split, yet another UNESCO Site, seeing Diocletian’s Palace, which is more a small city than a single palace. It bustles with archaeological wonders from Classical Rome through the Byzantine and Venetian periods and maintains a lively pulse of shops and street merchants today. This evening’s farewell dinner is at your hotel's excellent restaurant. (B,L,D)
