This dozen-day Balkan trip gives you a little bit of everything, for a well-rounded exploration of the western Balkans. Our tour of Croatia, Slovenia, and Bosnia & Herzegovina, as well as Montenegro, will take you on a Balkan travel experience full of beautiful cities, incredible nature, and heavenly beaches.

The first part of your tour will be a bit more landlocked, as we explore Zagreb, and Ljubljana, two historic capital cities with beautiful architecture, and a relaxed atmosphere. We will then dive into Slovenia’s natural wonders in the Julian Alps. Our destinations will be the world-famous Lake Bled with its picture-perfect scenery, romantic island church, and its slightly less known but no less amazing neighbor, Lake Bohinj.

After your adventures in the mountains, you will head underground, into the majestic subterranean mazes of the Postojna Cave and the mesmerizing underground river that flows through it. Your travels through the Balkan peninsula will continue in Croatia’s Plitvice National Park, which will offer up even more amazing scenes of nature with its terraced lakes and connecting waterfalls.

From lush greenery to the Adriatic coast. The second part of your tour will see you strolling through the ancient cities on the coast of Croatia, and exploring the different Roman, Greek, and Venetian traces left here throughout history. You’ll visit the iconic sights in Šibenik, Trogir, and Split, enjoy a day at sea while sailing around Hvar, Croatia’s most popular island, and discover the unforgettable cities of Ston and Dubrovnik. Later on, Montenegro will give you another taste of Mediterranean magic when you go to the amazing vacation destinations Budva and Kotor.

Your tour will also include Mostar, the most beautiful city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is even listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its iconic stone bridge, and fascinating mixture of Ottoman and Balkan cultural influences.

Prepare yourself for twelve days full of adventure and unforgettable memories on this Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia, and Slovenia tour!
