Count arrival and departure transfers separately. Split and Dubrovnik airports are each about 2.5 to 3 hours by road, and the route crosses the Croatia-Bosnia border. A late arrival followed by an early departure can make a nominal three-day stay much shorter in practice.
Medjugorje · YOUR QUESTION, ANSWERED
How long should I stay in Medjugorje?
Four to six nights is a useful planning recommendation if you want time to settle into the parish prayer rhythm rather than make a brief stop. That allows several evening programs, both hill walks, and at least one unscheduled day. Most 9 to 10 day U.S. packages spend the remaining nights in Croatian gateway cities.
