About Balkan Holidays

The Balkans are a tremendously fascinating area of south-eastern Europe that one simply has to visit to understand why. It’s a melting pot of … well, everything. Geographically, politically, socially, culturally, historically and gastronomically speaking, Balkan holidays are a perfect blend for holidaymakers who want to spoil all their senses.

You get to witness the spectacular diversity, both cultural and natural, as you travel from one stunning location to the next. The carefully planned itineraries of these extensive holiday packages include three wonderful countries and reveal some of their most prised treasures.

Once sister states in former Yugoslavia, today friendly neighbours with their sights on a prosperous future, Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina are waiting to be explored. All three share a number of common characteristics yet differ in many more.

When you join a Balkan Holidays tour, you take a journey back in time, visiting medieval castles in Slovenia’s countryside, Roman ruins on the Dalmatian coast and renowned remnants of the Ottoman Empire on the banks of a Bosnian river.

It’s a sightseer’s dream, taking you to places like Lake Bled in the Alps, the charming capitals of Ljubljana and Zagreb, deep into world-famous karst caves and breath-taking national parks. From green valleys to the Adriatic Sea and its gorgeous islands and historical masterpieces like Trogir and Dubrovnik.

But it’s not just about the places themselves, it’s about the people, the food, it’s about tasting, observing and feeling the marvellous mosaic called the Balkans. Besides seeing numerous unforgettable landmarks and learning a great deal about the local life, Balkan Holidays also offer plenty of time to just relax, sit, stroll around, and take it all in.

For more Balkan adventures, you can visit our sister brand The Balkan Tours for more in-depth and longer journeys through the region.

If you want your holidays to focus on the country on the sunny side of the Alps, check out the tours around Slovenia we have prepared for you.

The tour plan was really wonderful, a good balance of urban and outdoor locations and experiences. The trip app worked perfectly, making it simple to keep organized with excursion vouchers, route maps, site descriptions, etc. it also made it easy to communicate with the travel company when we occasionally had questions. We were amazed at how much variety there was in a relatively small area. I highly recommend this company and this particular trip plan for anyone who would like to explore this area of Slovenia.

The service provided by this company is first class. Our agent, Marusa was superb in terms of her communication, her suggestions and recommendations and brilliant organisation of our trip. Had we tied to organise for ourselves we would almost certainly have missed things out through lack of knowledge. Everything worked so well that we were able to make the most of our first wonderful visit to this beautiful, friendly and hospitable country. We loved it.

Slovenia Holidays did a fantastic job in putting together an eight-day, tailor-made tour for our small group. We had an amazing time and highly enjoyed all elements of our trip – including tour of Ljubljana, gorge hiking, visiting Slovenia’s famous caves, alpine views, hot air balloon ride, beautiful coastal town of Piran and, of course, delicious food and wine 😊. Our holiday agent – Grega - was a pleasure to work with and ensured our holiday covered the key locations and experiences Slovenia has to offer. The tour was a perfect introduction of Slovenia – beautiful and diverse country. We enjoyed everything, well organised and felt in safe hands. Our guide – Sanda - was a good match for us and tuned into our relaxed attitude. We would highly recommend Slovenia Holidays to anyone wishing to discover and explore real Slovenia.

Our private Hike and Bike tour was nothing short of amazing! We had a fantastic holiday, and Tomaz, our guide, went out of his way to ensure everything went smoothly. He was knowledgeable, punctual, entertaining, reliable, experienced... the perfect guide! It was a pleasure to indulge in such a breathtakingly beautiful country. Thank you, Ivana and Grega, for arranging our trip professionally and efficiently.
