I'm going to Split this summer and would like to get from there to Mostar
and/or Sarajevo. Are the busses going this route and how long is the trip to

  Anyone have any suggestions about the best time of year to
visit Athens and take a cruise/tour to several Greek islands and
Crete?

I will be traveling to Istanbul for my wedding in early August.  I've
noticed that ticket prices for that time of the year are much higher
than I expected.  Is it best to go ahead and buy now, or might they go
down if I hold off.  I'm usually a last minute planner and never
