The towns of Stolac (2) and Počitelj (5) can be referred to as open-air museums. Within these towns and their immediate vicinities, you'll find dozens of historical buildings from the list of BiH's national monuments. Unfortunately, both towns suffered significant damage during the 1992-1995 war and many buildings were burned to the ground or completely destroyed. Today, most of them have only been partially restored. Despite this - or perhaps because of this - these towns are certainly worth visiting. Visitors will appreciate the unique architecture, which represents the fusion of stone and water, and the Mediterranean and the Orient, with many flowers and gardens.

Complement a visit to these towns with a trip to the necropolises of Radimlja and Boljuni (3), the most famous and beautiful stećak cemeteries in BiH, the Illyrian town of Daorson (4), the Hutovo Blato Park near Čapljina (Ch. 7), or the Vjetrenica cave on the way to Trebinje (Ch. 9).

The region between Stolac and Čapljina, near the Bregava River (1), is famous for its cultivation of fruits and vegetables. It would be a shame not to give a few of these a try if you visit in the summer.
