For storytellers

Why Pocitelj Old Town matters

Climb the stone steps through the village to reach the fortress tower at the top. Along the way you pass an old mosque, a clock tower and houses with stone roofs. The wide view along the river valley is the reward. Early morning light is lovely and the crowds from tour buses thin out by evening.

Talking points

  • A steep path leads to the upper fortress tower.
  • The mosque and clock tower are the main landmarks.
  • The view over the Neretva valley is the highlight.
