Halal-Friendly Balkans, 11 days
Your signature experience
A private iftar or dinner with a Sarajevo family, in their home
From Zagreb's Islamic Centre to Sarajevo's old town, this journey takes care of halal meals, prayer times and the right hotels, so you can simply travel. Your signature evening is at a family table in Sarajevo: home cooking, Bosnian coffee and the kind of conversation you can't book anywhere else. During Ramadan it becomes an iftar.

Christian Pilgrimage through the Balkans, 15 days
Your signature experience
A private sunrise walk up Apparition Hill in Medjugorje, with a local guide
From Ljubljana to Sarajevo by way of Marija Bistrica, the Dalmatian coast, Medjugorje and Ostrog, a journey for prayer as much as for sightseeing. Your signature experience is the quietest hour Medjugorje has: a private walk up Apparition Hill at sunrise, before the crowds, with a local guide.

How it works
Simple, and only with us
- Book any 2027 private journey directly with Balkland (on balkland.com, through our booking page, or by writing to us at booking@balkland.com) by 28 February 2027.
- Travel on any date in 2027.
- We'll arrange your signature experience as part of your itinerary; there's nothing extra to pay.
- One signature experience per booking. It can't be exchanged for cash or combined with other offers, and it isn't available on bookings made through other websites or agents.
- Some experiences depend on the season and the weather (birding boats, for example); if one can't run, we'll offer a private alternative of the same standard.
