Coast light turns the Adriatic silver at first light, the road climbs above the bays, and the hills open towards river valleys and stone towns. In one easy day you can cross the border, walk Mostar’s old lanes to Stari Most, sit by the river spring at Blagaj, and cool off at Kravica in season.

Top story for the route Leave Dubrovnik early as the sea turns pale and cafés set out chairs along the coast. Cross inland where dry karst gives way to the green of the Neretva, then step into Mostar for coffee above the river and angles on Stari Most. Midday, reach Blagaj where the Tekija sits beside the cliff and the river rises cold and clear.
Keep the late light for Kravica where white water fans into emerald bowls and shaded paths run beside the shore. Read more in our Mostar page, our Blagaj Tekija guide and our Kravica Waterfalls guide. On longer summer days, a short climb in Počitelj adds sunset over tiled roofs.
