From the peak of Pinara and Croatia, there are magnificent views of the sources of the rivers. Remains of late antique architecture and old Croatian graves are some sights to behold while here. Am glad to know of the rich history of this place.

There's a great rich history to listen , learn and love and is evidenced by the archaeological remains from the Paleolithic, Late Neolithic and Illyrian period. I loved how the tour guide elaborated everything to us. The fact that Kijevo is found between two mountains, attributes to its scenic beauty.

The village gets its lively attractions from the mother nature. As an agriculture expert , the rich agricultural techniques and farming methods used was very motivating. Very educative.

The architectural art and designs of the buildings did much of the talking. The early churches had a unique interior design and decor that a was outstanding from the other churches. A good place to visit.
