Early departure from Split finds the van threading the Dalmatian coast into the low karst hills; by midmorning the air tastes of river and woodsmoke as you step onto Mostar’s cobbled banks. The Stari Most arcs above the Neretva like a stone breath, and the old town’s bazaar hums with hand-woven textiles and roasted coffee.
