Included in Price

  • All breakfasts, three lunches and two dinners are included. Food in the Balkans is quite varied thanks to the many regional influences – many popular dishes with the same name but often with big taste differences. Dairy products, especially milk and yoghurt, are present in many dishes. Grilled meats are popular with pork and lamb prevalent in Macedonia and Bulgaria. Pastries, pies, salads and fresh vegetable dishes are a staple of the Balkan diet. Macedonian wine is incredibly good value, especially wines from the Tikvesh region. Rakija, similar to brandy, is very popular and local people often make their own. Mastika, a liquor, is considered the national drink of Macedonia and is usually poured over ice and enjoyed with a selection of small dishes. Vegetarian and some special dietary requirements can be catered for but options are limited in the Balkans. Please inform us of any specific requirements upon booking.
