Summer in Mostar can be intense, the kind of dry, golden heat that settles into the stone streets and lingers well into the evening. While the city bakes under the sun, I’ve found comfort in creating my own little oasis at home. When it’s too hot to wander far, I turn inward, making my space feel like a retreat from the blazing outdoors. One of my favorite corners during summer is my balcony. I’ve transformed it into a cool and cozy spot that helps me escape the worst of the heat. A crisp white tablecloth sets the tone, simple, clean, and light-reflecting, perfect for bright days. I added fake plants, which may not need watering but still give off that lush, green vibe without the extra work (or the risk of sunburnt leaves). And in the evenings, when the air finally softens, small table lamps cast a warm, relaxing glow that makes the space feel magical. It’s nothing extravagant, but it works. A few thoughtful touches are all it takes to make summer in Mostar feel less like a challenge and more like a season to savor, one breeze, one iced drink, and one quiet balcony moment at a time.
