Explore the Heart of the Balkans
Your journey begins in the welcoming capital of Sarajevo, nestled high in the Dinaric Alps, where the continental climate adds a crisp edge to your adventure. From there, you’ll travel south into Herzegovina, one of Europe’s sunniest regions, where Mediterranean warmth meets charming vineyards. The tour continues into Croatia, descending along the stunning Pelješac Peninsula with panoramic views of the sparkling Adriatic Sea. Finally, we reach the idyllic island of Korčula and its neighbouring isles—renowned for their serene beauty, vibrant culture, and delicious wines.
The capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina continues to inspire curious travelers from around the world—no wonder it was the overwhelming winner of this year’s Readers’ Choice vote. Sarajevo’s centuries-old history is woven into its natural beauty much like the Miljacka River, which flows under more than a dozen bridges, including the Latin Bridge and Skenderija, a foot bridge built from the same materials as the Eiffel Tower according to local folklore.

Gastronomic Delights

The ethos of this region is best captured by the phrase “samo polako”, or “take it easy.” With Hedona, you’ll experience the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
