The Balkans

Below are just a few examples of the signature experiences that MIR can arrange for you in Serbia. Let them be a source of inspiration, then get in touch with one of our Private Tour Designers to craft an itinerary uniquely suited to your travel goals, budget, and style.

• Board a helicopter for a spectacular bird’s-eye view of steep-sided Uvac River Canyon with its 1,000-foot limestone cliffs – named one of the Seven Serbian Wonders of Nature.
• Explore delightful UNESCO-listed Kovacica Village, world-renowned for its naive art and violin-making, visiting the home of a famous naive art painter and watching a violin maker at work in his studio.
• Don an apron for a Serbian cooking class and meal with a professional cook, browsing a neighborhood market for fresh ingredients and spices, then creating a traditional Serbian dish – perhaps cevapcici (grilled meat with onions) or borek (flaky stuffed pastries).
• Explore a family-run farm and cheese-making enterprise near Pirot, sampling the area’s renowned sheep’s milk cheeses including Pirotski Kackavalj, made using an age-old recipe and handcrafted methods.
