About this trip
A coach tour through the Balkans and into Greece, covering a lot of ground across multiple countries in 12 days. You move through capital cities and coastal towns, taking in the mix of empires, wars and cultures that have shaped this part of Europe.
The route runs from Sofia through Skopje, Belgrade, Sarajevo and Tirana, along the Croatian coast, and down through Montenegro and Albania before crossing into Greece for Meteora, Delphi and Athens.
It's a fully guided group trip by coach, so the sightseeing is done for you — you just need to keep up with the pace.
