Sea light lifts over the Adriatic as the road leaves Split and turns inland. The Neretva valley opens to green water, lanes curve through the old town, and Stari Most arches above the river with long angles from both banks. With a full day you can add Blagaj where the river rises from the cliff, swim at Kravica in season, or climb Počitelj’s tower for sunset.

Top story for the route Leave Split early as dry karst gives way to the green of the Neretva. In Mostar, walk cobbles to Stari Most and watch the river fold under the arch from the eastern bank. Cross for a higher angle from the western terraces, then pause for thick coffee above the water. Midday, drive to Blagaj where the Tekija sits beside the river spring under a cliff, or reach Kravica for cool shade and a swim in marked zones. Keep late light for Počitelj’s tower and tiled roofs. Read more in our Stari Most guide, Blagaj Tekija guide, Kravica Waterfalls guide and Počitelj fortress guide. For a deeper city overview, see our Mostar destination page.
