In Europe there are still quite a few countries that are not very popular among our compatriots. For example, the poorly known resorts of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the sea, however, like the ski centers of this country. And we must admit that they are deprived of attention undeservedly.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is quite an attractive country, which will please the beautiful nature and affordable, high-quality recreation.
Seaside holidays
If you are already interested in Bosnia and Herzegovina, resorts located on the sea, will give a lot of positive emotions, because you will have the opportunity to buy in the gentle Adriatic Sea, pleasing warm water. However, Bosnia and Herzegovina has only one city on the sea coast - this is Neum . There is no more exit of the country to the sea.
European tourists have already fully appreciated all the advantages of Neum, surrounded on both sides by the Croatian state - the border is only nine kilometers away. However, the coastline of the city extends almost 25 kilometers, which is due to the peninsula Klek , which is stretched towards the sea. This is quite enough to equip the attractive beaches and offer many options for a quality and unforgettable sea holiday, filled with a special, unique atmosphere of the Adriatic.
We add that in general, the cost of recreation and the price of individual goods and services in the town is much lower than in similar resort areas of other countries.
What attracts Neum?
In addition to the sea coast, warm sea and comfortable beaches Neum will please numerous tourists:
- An attractive architecture that confirms the stormy history of the city;
- charming nature;
- a gentle climate.
The development of infrastructure is expressed in a variety of accommodation options, among which a variety of guest houses for every taste and financial possibilities. Also there is a huge number of shops, and therefore problems with basic goods, products and souvenirs will not be. In addition, every owner of the outlet tries to arrange it as much as possible in an original way, which also attracts tourists.
Neuma Beach Area
As already mentioned above, the beach area extends for 25 kilometers. The beaches are mostly covered with pebbles, but generally pleasant, landscaped and clean. To the shore often moored:
- yachts;
- boats;
- ferries.
They sail from neighboring Croatia and are invited to sea walks.
Neum is ideal for sea recreation with children, because the beaches are not just landscaped, but are covered with mountain ranges, therefore they are completely protected from wind and strong sea disturbances. Although a large pebble can cause some inconvenience, and therefore it is better not to walk ashore on the shore.
Ski holidays in Bosnia and Herzegovina
If you decide to visit this pleasant and beautiful country in winter, the ski resorts of Bosnia and Herzegovina will be pleased with its high level of service, magnificent trails and beautiful nature.
By the way, to be surprised by the availability of ski resorts is not worth it, because the country is mountainous. Today in Bosnia and Herzegovina there are four specialized centers where fans of mountain skis can fully enjoy skating on the slopes:
- Yakhorina .
- Belashnitsa.
- Vlašić.

All the centers are located in close proximity to the capital of Sarajevo . They were erected to the Winter Olympic Games in 1984, but thanks to reconstruction, constant development today is not inferior to the best resorts in the world.

How to get there?
Getting to the resorts is not so difficult, but it will take quite some time. After all, there are no direct flights from Moscow - it is necessary to make one to three transplants, depending on the chosen flight. Most of the aircraft in Sarajevo from Moscow fly through Turkish airports.
Flights to other cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, for example, to the same Banja Luka , are also carried out with transplants. Depending on the number of transfers and the time of connecting flights, the flight can take up to 25 hours. Therefore, such a close map Bosnia and Herzegovina is not really that close. However, the time spent on the road is compensated by a pleasant rest!
