Travel Talk Balkans tours take you on an unforgettable journey across a fascinating region that has shaped the history of modern Europe. It is where Europe meets the Orient (East); where Christians and Muslims have cohabited for centuries, and formed its unique cultural and social fabric. This geography hosted huge incidents in history from the splitting of Roman Empire into two, to the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand that sparked World War I, and witnessed many wars and struggles – the “powder-keg of Europe” due to strong ideals of the natives. Whilst the Balkans hold such a rich history, the region is truly blessed with its astonishing natural beauty; magnificent mountains covered in tall green forests, crystal waters and endless white beaches. The Balkans are a unique facade of Europe with its familiar, yet distinct style and vibe – where people of many nations have met, lived, and warred over thousands of years. Travel Talk Balkan tours gives you the option to map out your favourite countries with a wide range of tours from 4 days up to 21 days.
