Bosnia Tour

Meet at the Turkish Airlines counter in the International Terminal of Istanbul Airport 3 hours before the flight. Following passport and check-in procedures, departure for Sarajevo at 14:50 on Turkish Airlines scheduled flight TK1021. Following our arrival at 14:40 local time, we depart for Sarajevo city centre in the vehicle waiting for us at the airport. Sarajevo, the capital and largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is also a highly important centre within the Balkans. The city is a meeting point for Roman Catholic peoples in the west, Eastern Orthodox peoples in the east and Ottoman peoples in the south. While it has been an example of a clash of civilisations throughout history, its multiculturalism and tolerance also make it a beacon of hope for peace. In this city, also known for its religious diversity, Muslims, Christians belonging to different denominations and Jews have lived together for centuries. Its broad historical diversity is reflected in its architecture: some areas resemble a Central European city, while just a few streets away it is possible to encounter the influence of Ottoman or Soviet-style socialist modernism.
