Eastern Europe is woven with vibrant medieval history, dramatic landscapes and captivating cultures. Towering stone fortresses rise from the sparkling sapphire seas, untamed emerald valleys beckon the intrepid traveller seeking an escape from the tourist throng. This region offers a treasure trove of hidden gems waiting to be unearthed. Forget the well-trodden paths of Prague and Budapest; we’re venturing deeper into countries where the echoes of your footsteps mingle with the whispers of history.
CROATIA
Croatia, often overshadowed by its western neighbour, Italy, boasts a coastline that would make any traveller weak at the knees. Imagine this: crystalline turquoise waters lapping against sun-drenched shores, ancient citadels perched atop windswept cliffs, and charming harbour towns overflowing with terracotta rooftops. The crown jewel is undoubtedly Dubrovnik, the Unesco World Heritage Site made famous by Game of Thrones, adorned with baroque palaces and a breathtaking city wall that snakes along the Adriatic.
Beyond the postcard-perfect beauty lies a tapestry of experiences. Hike through the ethereal Plitvice Lakes National Park, where cascading waterfalls tumble into turquoise pools, seemingly ripped from a fairytale. For a taste of history, delve into the fascinating streets of Split’s old town, where the ruins of the Palace of Diocletian—a Roman emperor’s retirement home turned bustling city centre—stand as a testament to the region’s rich past. For the active adventurer, Croatia offers an abundance of options, from kayaking through the hidden coves of the Dalmatian coast to spelunking through the depths of the mystical Velebit Mountains.
