TOURS
If you are looking to extend your stay in Europe with a pre- or post-conference tour, there are several options; however, space is filling-up fast:
Pre-Conference:
A Taste of Istria and Dalmatia: you will discover Venice and Croatia, specifically the Istrian and Dalmatian regions and their seaside picturesque towns, a mix of cultural exploration and gastronomy highlights of the region: truffles, olive oil etc.
Balkans the Land of Blood and Honey: this is for you if you are interested in learning about the history of the Balkans region, through first-hand testimonials. You will meet with locals sharing their view on the Croatian war of independence. It’s a dual narrative tour, so you will not hear only one side of the story but both the Croatian and Bosnian versions.
Post-Conference:
Gems of the Adriatic region, Croatia and Slovenia: this tour is heading north along the Dalmatian coast, to explore Mostar (Bosnia), Croatian seaside towns, the capital of Zagreb, and beautiful Slovenia with many natural wonders.
Discover the Balkans: this itinerary is an opportunity to see several countries in a more off-the-beatentrack region such as Kosovo or Albania where the locals are very friendly and approachable; since tourism isn’t very developed yet.
Day Excursions:
A number of excursions and day-trips will be offered during the conference. Whether you are looking to learn more about Dubrovnik, participate in oyster or olive harvest or learn about wine and traditional cooking, there really is something for everyone!
