My Balkans travel: Dubrovnik #1 Pearl of Adriatic

in #travel6 years ago (edited)

Before talking about Dubrovnik, i'd like to share one of my the most interesting cross border journey. From Mostar(Bosnia) to Dubrovnik(Croatia), we crossed 4 borders. :) Yes, 2 countries but 4 borders. LEt me explain on map. After got on the bus at the Mostar coach station, we first arrived to Metković border crossing.


The first cross border point is double sided

Spent 45 minutes in Bosnia side and 45 minutes in Croatia side. We were in Croatia lands. After around 1 hour drov from Metkovic we arrived to another border crossing town is called Klek. But, this time there was only Croatia side controls and spent around half an hour. And, again we were in Bosnia lands that called Neum town :)


Drove in Croatia lands and arrived to second cross border point is Klek

Again and again after drove around 20 minutes, arrived "last" border cross gate. There were only two people whose required visa - one of them was me - so we just waited around 15 minutes only.


Again, crossed Bosnia and welcome to Croatia

So, during that 3-4 hours we asked many times "again?" :) Specially, some people in bus whose not familiar with that geography are surprised. "Why 2 countries but many border?". Welcome to Balkans :)

Besides all that waiting times, it was a joyful travel. Beautiful nature - green, rivers, mountains and beautiful Adriatic - and sea is really breath-taking. These are a few photo i took during bus driving:


That view worth to all travel "stress"

Arrived to beautiful Dubrovnik and now time to discover:


Symbol of city: Dr. Franjo Tudjman Bridge


Seaside


"One of the island" from mainland


Sunset, bridge and beautiful sea


Same view in day


Another island view

Günbatımı fotoğrafı şahane. Bizim de arabayla Balkanlar planımız var bir aksilik olmazsa. Yazılarınız oldukça yol gösterici oluyor :)

Beğenmenize sevindim. Orda, gerek günbatımı, gerek denizin ve doğanın kokusu ve dinginliği.. inanılmaz bir his. Aklınıza takılan birşeyler olursa sorabilirsiniz veya discord'dan da ulaşabilirsiniz.

wow,i add this place to my visit list,awesome pictures.

it is a good choice to visit ;)

You've spelled Croatia wrong multiple times in this post (you put Crotia) so I thought I'd let you know so you can change it :-)

Ohh, thank you very much. Actually, auto-correct was on but i don't know, somehow it looks like it didn't work.. anyway, update. Thank you fr your attention and your interest ;)

No problem. I know how frustrating it is to look at a post a few weeks later and think, "Did I have that spelling mistake there all this time?" And on Steemit I heard that after a week you can't edit a post, so I thought I'd give you a heads up.

On a side note, I hope you enjoyed Dubrovnik. I did a very similar route a couple of years ago stopping at Zadar and Split (I highly recommend Zadar by the way) and fell in love with the Balkans. If you are heading that way check out Ohrid in Macedonia. Skopje is nice as well, but Ohrid has a certain charm about it. If you are interested I can recommend a hostel for you there

Thank you for your valuable suggestions. Maybe next year i will complete other part of Balkans.

Great travel pics! Keep it up!

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. What spectacular photos. If I had to choose one I could not decide. Great.

Good work, nice photos! Lovely colors!! Thanks for sharing. Followed and upvoted.

Thank you :)

Very very nice place! thanks for shared!

you're welcome. keep in touch.

beautiful <3

thank you :) yes, they are.

I only have an atlas i stole from school in 1986 but pretty sure this is all just Yugoslavia

Once upon a time, all of that countries were Yugoslavia.

Good work, Thanks for sharing. Followed and upvoted.

Thank you sir

Great views.

i am happy if you like it ;)

Nice! Yupe, Balkans have its something ;) Sometimes what is logical in other countries does not necessarily work here, but the views and people are great! Enjoy Croatia!

Hehe, yes they are unique and each part has its own specialty :)

Great story, great travel you had, Always take care

Thank you very much
