MONTENEGRO, BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA

Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro have for centuries been crossroads of ancient civilisations, with a magical mixture of European and Near Eastern culture. The diversity is very clear, from the vibrant cities of Kotor and Budva, to the Oriental influence of places such as Mostar and Sarajevo, and the numerous tiny hamlets where the traditional, tranquil way of life has remained unchanged for years. Here we find a unique fusion of traditions, religions and architecture. Small wooden mosques, secluded Orthodox monasteries, Catholic chapels and Jewish synagogues can be found within metres of each other. The natural beauty of this region is truly stunning, with ancient forests, rugged peaks and the beautiful waters of the Adriatic coastline, where we explore the the magnificent bay of Kotor and make a stop in the wonderful Croatian city of Dubrovnik.
