Eastern Europe is a region that encompasses many different cultures, ethnicities, languages & histories. Destinations here, have one thing in common: they were all behind the Iron Curtain before its Fall & this Political boundary of the last century helps us define a region whose development, especially until the 1990s, has been very different from that of Western Europe.

A living heritage of Folklore & Festivals sets Eastern Europe apart. This is the heartland of Orthodox Christianity: the Religion's rites permeate many aspects of cultural life, particularly in Russia & Ukraine. Roman, Catholic, Muslim & Jewish communities add their own influences, while whiffs of ‘pagan’ tradition can be felt in the Baltics. Baltica Folklore Festivals, Slovakia's Vychodna & Bulgaria’s Rose Festival are captivating events, full of insight into age-old Europe. Traditional Woodcarvers still hunch over Work Benches in Slovakia, while Glass Icons continue to be painted in Romania, allowing Travellers to take home a piece of Eastern European craftsmanship.

On this 7 day journey, encounter the captivating historical highlights & inspiring beauty of this enchanting land. Explore Bulgaria's largest Monastery, explore ancient Roman ruins & so much more. But the highlight will be the century old Kazanluk Rose Festival where Homes, Windows, Streets & People are decked out in fresh Roses. They are a colorful backdrop to the Festival’s week-long celebration of Folk Dancing, Singing, Feasting & Parades topped off with a Beauty Pageant.
