Our Destinations
The Balkan peninsula for centuries has been the area where great empires and religions confronted, and where nations mixed and co-existed. The mixed influence is now seen in the riches and varieties of language, traditions, cuisine and cultural heritage, with numerous locations protected by states and UNESCO. Mediterranean, continental and mountain climates impacted the presence of fantastic contrasts on this relatively small land. Picturesque mountainous villages, sandy shores, great river valleys, numerous national parks and natural monuments will take your breath away! Nowhere in Europe, will you find such a diverse gastronomic offer. Finally, traditional Balkan hospitality, fantastic nightlife and clubs on seashores or rivers, live music in authentic kafanas and taverns, and ingenuous and open-minded local people are just several things that you will find in the Balkans, the best-kept secret destination in Europe!
