The Satisfying Sojourns in SOUTHERN EUROPE

Whisk away to its wonderful countries with Dook’s Southern Europe Tour Packages

 
The Southern chunk of Europe is known to be a blessed home to the world’s most incredible coastlines, some amazing beaches, ancient archaeological gems and incredibly high-on-life cities that are too hard to ignore. Add to these a mix of diverse cultures, rich history and a warm Mediterranean climate which is quite different from the other regions and you will be thrilled to experience such variety packed into one pleasant space. The countries here including Albania, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Kosovo, Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, Portugal, San Marino, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey and the Vatican City, differ significantly from each of their neighbours.
 
Southern Europe has always remained one of the most popular picks on European travel itineraries. Here you get hands-on experience of the pristine Mediterranean and Adriatic coastlines and the surrounding islands, the easy-going vibe in the cities, ancient Roman and Greek playgrounds that are quite distinctive, forts clinging to cliff sides and never-eaten-before delicacies. Then there are unspoiled towns and trails hidden amongst the cities that are well worth heading off the beaten track for. Not to mention the snow-white beaches, a wealth of enthralling landscapes, vineyards and a bunch of amazing local stories adding to the real part of the fun in the Southern Europe Tour.
 
For active mountain escapades, Andorra serves generous doses of adventure whereas neighbouring Spain is packed with cultural quests, fiesta-filled evenings, great events and all things amazingly beautiful. While in Croatia, you can take strolls in and around the quirkiest museums and beautiful amphitheatres, the sights of the ancient temples and modern cities of Greece will make your jaw drop in awe. For a package of history, art and good food, Italy is the best choice, while Portugal steals your heart with its wine ‘n’ dine options. For a combination of historic villages, hiking in the mountains and an afternoon spent around the Mediterranean, head to Cyprus and if spending time close to nature is your idea of a holiday, there is nothing better than a trip to Slovenia or Bosnia and Herzegovina. The shopaholics can test their haggling skills at the bustling bazaars of Turkey while the spiritual hearts can choose Malta or the Vatican City and the others who like an informative, filled-with-history vacation, can explore Albania, Macedonia, Serbia and beautiful Montenegro. Nowhere else in Europe can you see the antiquity mixing so well with modernity. Sounds too exciting, isn’t it?

1. Albania

One Southern European country that is surely and swiftly catching the traveller’s interest after missing the buzz for years is Albania. Even though the country has been one of the least developed in Europe, it also is one of the least expensive which gives travellers a reason to keep pinning their travel hopes on Albania. The visitors are delighted to see its amazing old castles, beautiful Ottoman stone towns, countless wonders of nature like lakes and deep gorges, remote mountain ranges surrounded by beaches and quaint villages running along with the modernity of a quirky capital Tirana.

2. Croatia
 
Positioned in the Balkans and blanketed by the Adriatic Sea, Croatia is undeniably one of the most gorgeous Southern European destinations. Just like much of Europe, this incredible country boasts its fair share of ancient cities and ruins, stone castles and museums but what makes it special is the wealth of stunning natural Croatia Attractions such as the UNESCO listed Plitvice Lake and Krka, impressive one thousand seven hundred kilometres of beautiful Adriatic coastline, majestic waterfalls, wide landscapes and gorgeous islands that are yachters’ haven. While the jewel of Croatia’s booming tourism is Dubrovnik (thanks to its medieval era old town and Game of Thrones fame), the capital Zagreb is even more interesting, famous with its neoclassical buildings and hiking opportunities. Split, Pula in Istria and Zadar are amongst the other must-visit Croatia Tourist Attractions that complete your wonderful vacation in this incredible country. From stunning lush forests to enchanting national parks, a fascinating historic tour that takes you back to Roman times to the fantastic wine tasting experience, from the Venetian towers to Byzantine mosaics and churches, from outdoor adventures to leisurely beach vacations and what not! Croatia seems to have just about everything to satiate your wanderlust.
 
3. Andorra

A tiny country snuggled between two giants- Spain and France, Andorra is one of the underrated European destinations that even most of the well-travelled Europeans don’t know about. As a country that is seated in the mountains, Andorra’s tourism has always been well focused on nature. Here, you will easily find your way to the rugged mountain landscapes scattered with icy mountain springs and amazing ski slopes along with some of the most fascinating hiking trails and that’s why Andorra is preferably visited during all seasons. But there are certainly many other things beyond the natural wonderlands. The country is also a tax-free haven for shoppers who flock to the huge modern shopping centres to take utmost saving benefits on luxury goods. You can enjoy the high mountain cuisine, dive into the warm waters at the wellness centres or spend the lazy day in one of the cabins you book on the mountains. All this and more make Andorra one of the deserving bucket list destinations.
 
4. Bosnia and Herzegovina

A country situated within the Balkan region, Bosnia & Herzegovina is one of Europe’s most visually impressive corners. The places here are a delightful fusion of the East and West, modern and historic, unspoiled natural gems and likeable attractions. Here is where you can see the minarets and domes adorning the skyline or the ancient woodland covering the gamut of glorious reds and gold, where you can find traces of the past in the artisan workshops, see the turquoise waterfalls, lakes and rivers and hear the church bells while you move along the shepherds still controlling their flocks on steep hills. Feel the lively, city vibes at the quirky bars of the capital Sarajevo, wander through the colourful bazaars of Mostar or see its famous Old Bridge, hike up to the Dinaric Alps, enjoy the beauty of unspoiled natural parks or go down the deepest canyon in Europe. For every right reason, this beautiful country gives visitors the real taste of Europe and once you head out, you will be lured to discover more!
 
5. Turkey

A modern country depicting the captivating blends of ancient and contemporary, business and leisure and the calm and chaotic, Turkey is a pleasant surprise to the senses.

6. Kosovo

Europe’s youngest democracy and a country beautifully located in the Balkans, Kosovo is surrounded by soaring mountains, rugged slopes, lovely waterfalls and some of the most peaceful lakes- the reason why it is considered a great destination for hiking. Whereas its capital city Pristina is brimming with vibrant cafes and fine dine restaurants, the time-worn town of Janjeva and the riverside city of Prizren are worth the visit. Find your way crossing the cobblestone streets to plenty of Ottoman Mosques, churches, charming stone bridges and twelfth-century Monasteries. Travelling around Kosovo is pretty much easier given the fact that the public transport system is good, locals are warm and welcoming and it is one of the least expensive destinations on the continent.

7. Montenegro

Once a hidden gem in Europe, Montenegro, a tiny but gorgeous country is today getting hyped as the continent’s hottest new travel destination. And it's easy to see why.
