Our expedition around the Balkan region begins in Zagreb. After getting to know Croatia's wonderful capital, our next destinations are just over the border in striking Slovenia. From Ljubljana, the greenest of capitals, to world-famous Lake Bled and the magical Julian Alps, down to the captivating Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle. Such a colourful introduction to Sloveniaโs unique historical and geographical multiplicity.ย ย
Then itโs back to Croatia as we venture into the Istrian Riviera before venturing further to the natural miracle of Plitvice National Park, a forest reserve with captivating lakes and waterfalls, and Zadar, a beautiful coastal town in Dalmatia. We continue down the sunlit coastline to ล ibenik and the ancient town of Trogir, before arriving in Croatiaโs second largest city of Split. The latter is a superb stepping stone to some of Dalmatiaโs most attractive islands, Hvar and Vis, as well as the roman ruins of Solin.
The third country on our tour is Bosnia & Herzegovina. Weโll be visiting Mostar, the countryโs acclaimed cultural heritage site and the meeting point of cultures. We round up our amazing journey by heading back over the border to do some sightseeing in the ancient relic of Ston and the unbelievably gorgeous walled town of Dubrovnik, a sensational Adriatic port of immense historical importance.
And just in case the carefully assembled list of unforgettable destinations isnโt enough, we have also added a few extra options for you to extend your holidays with. The Istrian Peninsula, Bosniaโs capital Sarajevo, the Kornati Islands and Montenegroโs Kotor โ each is a very promising add-on adventure for some more Balkan soulfulness.
