No matter with part of the tour you want to join, you’ll see that the Balkans are rich with history, diversity, culture and beautiful scenery. It is more that a region haunted by Nazi occupation and concentration camps, with decaying and forgotten spomeniks (monuments) scattered around.
Then end of the Second World War saw Yugoslavia develop and progress under the grip of Josip Broz Tito, renowned for his military tactics against the Axis occupation and his hard stance against Stalin. But peace didn’t last in the region, with the death of Tito followed by the economic failure shattering the framework that kept Yugoslavia united. It lead to war, with many wishing to creating their own nations. Fuelled by nationalism and ethnic tension, the collapse of Yugoslavia saw the deadliest war in Europe since WWII, with thousands of war crimes and crimes against humanity still under investigation.
Your journey takes you to seven countries, each unique despite their shared history, where you’ll meet genuine people and learn and about their language, cultures and political views. A mixture of ancient and modern history through times of peace and conflicts makes this a truly unique place to visit.
YPT will take you to Yugoslav People’s Army most secretive sites, including underground airbase, Tito’s nuclear bunker and submarine yards. You’ll get to explore neighbourhood boasting beautiful brutalist architecture and abandoned towers used by snipers to take out their victims.
You’ll get to experience the unique culturally rich heritage of the Balkans, visiting Ottoman styled towns and Communist Bloc style cities. Our Ultimate Yugoslavia Tour, taking in 7 countries in 12 days, is an action-packed itinerary taking you through the place where East meets West: a melting pot of countries who have all been at the forefront of modern history and still bear the scars!
