NEW DESTINATIONS TO DISCOVER
TREASURES OF BALKAN
Travel with private car and guide to discover the treasures of Central
Balkans Region.
The Balkans, with roots firmly planted in European culture, is a region
of interrupted memories. Though civilizations have perished, their
traces have been preserved by geography, culture and language. With
each new ruler, fragments of history were either protected, as
embodied by beautifully conserved fortresses, destroyed, as evidenced
by remnants of pagan temples, churches and monasteries, or left to
crumble, as reflected by long vanished imperial palaces.
