Basically a thread to discuss your experiences on your different travel destinations. I'll start:
All tourists are pulled in by Blagaj Tekke, Bosnia, an architectural entity that comprise typical Dervish house stands by the Buna river, encompassed by breath-taking nature.
The Blagaj Tekke was incorporated into 200 metre cliff walls in the 1500’s, with elements of Ottoman architecture and Mediterranean style. The monastery comprised of a diverse range of buildings but over time not all of them survived. The Turkish bath had a heated floor and a transparent dome. The house tour is self guided and depicts how life was like many years ago.
You can also hop into a boat that goes inside the Zelena Pecina Caves (Green Caves). Usually there are two guides whom give a short historical note. The boat ride is short but worth it. Ancient human remains have been found in high caves and the area has been inhabited for at least 12,000 years!
There is also an eco centre near by where you can ride donkeys, hire a canoe, kids playground and other nature activities. You can also visit the old fortress of Stjepan city which is situated above Blagaj. This was a city palace enclosed by hard walls with jagged peaks still seen today.
Overall the Blagaj is an extremely interesting area enriched with Islamic architecture and culture. I recommend it to anyone whom is interested in history or nature.
