SARAJEVO – ARRIVAL
Arrive at Sarajevo Airport. Drive to mountain Vlašić. On our way to mountain Vlašić we will visit old vizier city Travnik. For over 150 years, the vizier - the Ottoman Sultan's representative in Bosnia - had his headquarters in this town, attracting both consulates and trade. Travelers visiting Travnik in this era were impressed by the town and called it the European Istanbul and the most oriental town in Bosnia. Upon arrival, visit the Old Town, (optional) Museum (birth house of the famous nobel prize winner Ivo Andrić) and Sulejmanija Mosque (Colorful Mosque) On our way, we will have a lunch at favourite resort in Travnik called Plava Voda (Blue Waters), a large source that flows out of the base of Vlasić Mountain. There is a path all the way to the source. The water is freezing cold and wonderful for a cold drink or a refreshing splash in the summer. Near Plava Voda is the Elci-Ibrahim pasina Medresa, built in a neo-Moorish style. Its construction in 1706 was due to Travnik's growing importance within the Ottoman Empire not only as a major trade town but for Islamic Studies as well. Arrival at Vlašić. Hotel accommodation. Free time. Overnight.
