Unique Experiences Await in the Balkans
APT Balkans Tours offer a variety of unique experiences that showcase the region’s rich history, diverse cultures, and breathtaking landscapes. Begin your adventure in Croatia, where the ancient city walls of Dubrovnik stand as a testament to the city’s storied past. Explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed old town, where narrow cobblestone streets, historic buildings, and vibrant markets transport you back in time. A walk along the city walls offers panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea, providing a stunning backdrop to this cultural gem.
