Discover the hidden gems of South Eastern Europe with a walking tour through the Balkans. It’s a region filled with many curious cultures, hearty cuisines and captivating histories that are guaranteed to enrich a walking trip through its untapped wilderness.

Explore the legend of Dracula in Transylvania or discover fairytale villages in northern Romania; trace alpine paths around glacial lakes in Bulgaria’s Rila and Pirin Mountain ranges; and hike past picturesque churches and lakes in North Macedonia. Fall in love with Slovenia’s Julian Alps and national parks; see Orthodox churches in Serbia; or take a break from the hiking trail and dive into the sparkling waters of Croatia’s Dalmatian coastline.

Head to Greece for walking trips or perhaps uncover the mystery of Meteora by foot; uncover the unspoilt lands of Albania; or explore the untapped wilderness of Kosovo. Remember to reward yourself with the generous foods of the Balkans: slow-cooked meats, fresh seafood of the Adriatic coast, or the enticing flavours of Greek cuisine.

Whether you're walking on a self-guided or guided small group trip, the Balkans is an incredible region for a beautiful and culture rich holiday.
