Blagaj tours and things to do

Cold water rises from the cliff into a green pool, the dervish house sits low at the edge, and swallows skim the surface in the shade. Stone villages and waterfalls lie a short drive away, with Mostar an easy city base.

Top things to do in Blagaj

Top story from Blagaj
Start by the Buna where the current turns out of the cave and under wooden terraces. Step inside the Tekija and notice the cool, quiet rooms before sitting for mint tea by the water.

Late morning, drive to Počitelj for lanes of pale stone and a steady climb to the tower, or keep the afternoon for Kravica where fine spray hangs over emerald bowls. Read more in our Blagaj Tekija guide, Počitelj fortress guide and Kravica Waterfalls guide. A day here moves from riverside calm to hill views and an easy swim in season.
