Traveling to Balkans might not be on your travel bucket
list, but we urge you to change your mind and visit the region. The
distinguished cultural, natural, ethnic, historical, religious, social and
political diversity of the Balkans makes it an unforgettable travel experience.
The Balkan Peninsula consists of ten-and-a-half countries:
Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, the Republic
of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, and the European part of Turkey.
These countries are each imbued with their own distinct culture. This is not
just a mixture of former Yugoslav countries and their neighbors—each of these
countries is a thriving hub.
While visiting you can enjoy and experience cobblestoned
streets, fairy-tale forests, wine regions, medieval towns, sandy beaches,
ancient ruins, cosmopolitan capitals, old bazaars, almost definitely haunted
castles, and over a thousand islands. Rocky mountains and terracotta towns
plunge spectacularly into the Adriatic Sea along the coastlines, whilst inland,
ominous mountain peaks are made for hiking and biking. Urban landscapes are
dotted with ancient architecture on a grand scale, featuring winding Ottoman
streets, Austro-Hungarian villas and the occasional communist concrete block. Balkan

What can I visit on a Balkan escorted tour?
The best places to visit in the Balkans depends on your
travel interests. Croatia has a breathtaking coastline and more than a thousand
islands in the Adriatic. Bosnia, on the other hand, has only a few kilometers
of shore but makes up for the lack of space with mountains, rivers, and
canyons. There’s a rich history here too with Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and
Yugoslavian influences as well as one or two Kingdoms. On a broader Balkan
trip, consider Serbia, Montenegro, and Slovenia. Albania is worth visiting too.
Favorites include Macedonia’s Skopje and Lake Ohrid, Montenegro’s Bay of Kotor,
Serbia’s Nis and, of course, Belgrade, Bosnia’s Sarajevo and Mostar, and
Croatia’s Dubrovnik.
