Essential Balkans
Visit seven Balkan countries in twelve days on this compact overland journey through history. A remarkably complex region, the mountainous Balkan Peninsula is fascinating, diverse and incredibly beautiful.
Days 1-12: Around the Balkans; start/end Dubrovnik
This circular driving itinerary begins in Croatia, heads down to Montenegro and Albania, over to Macedonia, up to Kosovo and Serbia, over to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and circles around to where it began, in Dubrovnik on the sun-washed Dalmatian Coast.
The panorama varies from white limestone cliffs bordering the blue Adriatic to the wild and rugged mountains of the Dinaric Alps that helped divide the ethnic groups that flourished in their valleys. Along the route, admire three different UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the walled and red-roofed Old City of Dubrovnik, the medieval Adriatic port of Kotor, and the historic Ottoman Bridge area in Mostar.
