Then, take 1 hour to explore the ancient streets: taste fruits and drinks from local sellers, climb to panoramic viewing sites, or just stroll the streets. Finally, you’ll head to your final location, sure to be a highlight of the day: Kravice Waterfalls. Spend 2 hours relaxing, swimming, or enjoying a nice meal and fresh drinks.
After a full day well spent, take the 50-minute drive back to Mostar during which you can chat with the guide or have a rest. You’ll arrive back in Mostar at around 4:00 PM.
