One of the most impressive hiking tours I have ever made was the short Inca Trail or Camino Real in Peru that leads to the famous city of Machu Picchu. Six years ago I traveled through Bolivia and Peru with a small group of nature lovers. It was one of our wishes to hike the […]

THE GREEN ISLAND OF MLJET
Enjoying our traditional summer holiday at Camp Rogač in Slano, we thought it a good idea to visit Mljet that is considered to be one of the most beautiful islands of Croatia.

THE AMAZING METEORA MONASTERIES
One of the highlights of our last trip through Albania and Greece was a visit to Meteora, a collection of Greek-Orthodox monasteries perched on gigantic 400 meters high rock pillars above the town of Kalambaka. It is no wonder that six (out of the initial number of 24) historical monasteries have been included in the […]
ALONG THE COAST OF SOUTH ALBANIA

Infrastructure is developed in the form of palm-lined promenades, wide boulevards and sunny squares with pretty […]

ORCHID TOURS TO MONTENEGRO
As a nature lover, I have always been fond of wild orchids. From late April to June, you can find these flowers everywhere in Montenegro, provided that the soil is calcareous – on meadows and fields, along country roads and hiking trails, among rocks and under bushes. Many of them are amongst the most beautiful […]
