Best things to do in the Balkan
Visoci Decani monastery in Kosovo
The Balkans are littered with beautiful, often impressive Orthodox monasteries. But the most beautiful is the Decani Monastery in Kosovo. A sacred place, a controversial place, but oh so beautiful with its overwhelming frescoes.
Hike in the Albanian Alps
There are many hiking opportunities everywhere in the Balkans, but perhaps the most beautiful hikes are through the Albanian Alps.
Citytrip Sarajevo
There are many nice cities in the Balkans, but our favorite is Sarajevo. So many cultures, so much history, so many stories. And what a setting.
Our favorite places in the Balkan
Dinarian Alps, Bosnia-Hercegovina, once the site of the Winter Olympics, now a paradise for mountain hikers, an undiscovered paradise. Here you can walk through the mountains in peace and quiet. Day walks, hikes, mountain huts, snow walks, it is all possible.
Meteora, forget the Greek islands, this is the most astonishing place in Greece. Situated on rocky pillars you will find a couple of isolated monasteries, the walls painted with ancient fresco's
Transsylvania, Romania
villages where time has stood still, green hills, ancient cities, impressive monasteries, bears and forests and of course the legends of Count Dracula
