2026 Balkan Blvd

The Balkans. It is where Europe greets the Orient; where Christians and Muslims have cohabited for centuries building its own strong culture and unique society. The Balkans is a fascinating region that has also shaped the history of modern Europe.

This beautiful geography hosted huge incidents in history from the splitting of the Roman Empire into two, to the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand that sparked World War I. It has witnessed many wars and struggles, and was named the "powder-keg of Europe" due to strong ideals of the natives. While the Balkans hold such a rich history, it is also truly blessed with its astonishing natural beauty. From magnificent mountains covered in tall green forests, to crystal waters and a myriad of islands with endless white beaches. The Balkans have a unique facade of Europe with its familiar, yet distinct style and vibe.

There is no universal agreement on the region's components. Some define the Balkans in cultural and historical terms and others geographically, although there are even different interpretations among historians and geographers. The interpretations might give discussion, one thing is sure: the history and geography of the Balkans is an ideal blend for another wonderful bike tour. We would like to welcome you on the Balkan Boulevard.
