Balkans Uncovered: Zagreb to Pristina

This 34-night escorted tour by G Adventures threads its way from Zagreb, Croatia, to Pristina, Kosovo, passing through Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, and North Macedonia. Beginning in Zagreb, guests orient themselves before delving into the ancient architecture and vibrant streets of Split and Dubrovnik, with landmark visits like Diocletian's Palace and the city walls of Ston.

National parks feature prominently with stops at Plitvice Lakes and Krka Lakes, known for their waterfalls and well-marked walking paths. Travellers will also encounter the Ottoman stone town of Počitelj, Mostar’s famous bridge, and the cable car over Sarajevo’s cityscape. In Montenegro, there are hikes and boat tours around Kotor and Perast, while Albania offers visits to shepherd outposts and wineries. The journey includes several local food and wine experiences, with an emphasis on regional specialities and traditional crafts.

Throughout, a G Adventures CEO accompanies the group, offering insights and practical support rather than traditional guiding alone. This tour moves at a measured pace, with time both for guided activities and independent wandering in the diverse cities and landscapes of the southern Balkans.
