After completing our ticket, luggage, and boarding procedures at the Istanbul Airport International Departure Terminal, we depart for Sarajevo with Turkish Airlines. We arrive in Sarajevo approximately 1.5 hours later according to local time. After completing our passport procedures, we begin our city tour with our private vehicles that await us. We drive to the front of the main library building (Vyeçnitsa), one of the city's iconic structures, and continue our tour on foot. We will see the main library, the Inat Kuća which has a very surprising story, the Latin Bridge built during the Ottoman period, and the spot where Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary and his wife were assassinated, which led to the outbreak of World War I. Continuing with Sebil Square, named after the traditional fountain common in the Ottoman Empire, we proceed through the historical streets of Baščaršija. Among other sights, we will see the Gazi Husrev Bey Mosque, the Clock Tower (the only one in the world that shows time according to the Islamic calendar), and the Kuršumlija Medrese, Moriç and Kolobara Inns. Then we head to Ferhadija, the most popular street in the city, where we will see buildings reflecting the architecture from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Catholic Cathedral, the Markale Market and the covered market (where Bosnian cream, dried meat, sausages, and Travnik cheese are sold). Our tour concludes at the "Eternal Flame" Monument established in memory of the victims of World War II. After the tour, there will be free time. Overnight at our hotel.

Optional Tour: Lunch Included, Mostar - Počitelj Tour: 60 Euro
Guests who wish can join the full-day Mostar-Počitelj optional tour organized by our guides. We will depart from our hotel by a private bus towards Mostar. Upon arrival in Mostar, we will take a panoramic city tour, where the most important landmark we will see is the Mostar Bridge. This UNESCO protected structure, built by Mimar Hayrettin, a student of Mimar Sinan, in 1566, using 456 stone blocks, is a unique architectural masterpiece that gives the city its name. The bridge was destroyed in November 1993 due to bombardments by Croatian artillery. With the support of the Republic of Turkey and the World Bank, it was rebuilt by a Turkish company using the original stones recovered from the river, and it was reopened in 2004. After walking through the old town of Mostar, through the narrow streets paved with cobblestones, lined with buildings preserving the architecture of the era, we will reach the Koski Mehmet Pasha Mosque, which is another important landmark and one of the best spots to take photos of the bridge. After our lunch, there will be free time for shopping and personal exploration until the gathering time announced by our guide. At the designated time, we will depart for our second stop in Počitelj. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Počitelj was integrated into the Ottoman Empire in 1471 and retained its strategic importance until 1878.
