15-Day Tour of the Balkans - 0001244

Over two weeks, on this adventure through the Balkans, you visit National Parks and historic cities as you travel through Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia and Serbia. Begin in the beautiful port city of Split on Croatia’s Adriatic Coast with its distinctly Mediterranean feel. Then heading inland to Bosnia we’ll discover iconic Mostar and the capital Sarajevo, known for its religious diversity, home to the Ottoman-style Emperor’s Mosque, the Catholic Sacred Heart Church and a Jewish synagogue. Visit the stunning Sutjeska National Park on the way to Budva in Montenegro, where you’ll enjoy a cruise to ‘Our Lady of the Rocks’ and discover the Venetian-walled Old Town, before heading to Tirana, Albania’s capital. Here, you’ll discover the 5th century fortress perched atop a rocky outcrop, before heading to Lake Ohrid on the Macedonian border. Explore Macedonia’s capital, Skopje, home to the memorial house of Mother Theresa, before moving on Serbia for a city tour of Belgrade, with its quaint cobbled lanes of the Bohemian Quarter. Your final destination is on the Balkan’s Peninsula in the capital of Croatia, Zagreb, where there is plenty to discover on a city tour.
