    Heritage

    The Balkan is called a Land of Honey & Blood. Its strategic location between two continents has been subjected to territorial invasions of today's Serbia, by many empires through centuries. The city of Niš is situated at the crossroads of the most important Balkan and European traffic routes, known for ages as Via Militaris. The route runs from northern Serbia and the capital Belgrade towards the south to Thessaloniki and Athens, and the east, to Istanbul, and further to the Middle East. Due to its turbulent history, Niš became a so-called city museum and an interesting destination for those tourists who want to explore more about the Great Epochs that had left their traces here.

    Day 1

    Departure

    Please be ready at 10:00 for the tour and lunch or at 14:00 for the tour and dinner. 

    Tour of the National Museum, which has today over 40,000 items in its holdings from archeology, history, art history, numismatics and epigraphy, and ethnology. And the literary legacy of Stevan Sremac, a famous writer, and Branko Miljković, a poet. At the museum, tourists can see the most significant artifacts found in Mediana.

    The city walk continues along Obrenovićeva Street to Banovina, the former building of the old Niš administration and the Cabinet of the Prime Minister of Serbia, Nikola Pasić, in which he received a telegram, on July 28, 1914, by which Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, formally marking the beginning of the First World War.

    A tour of the Niš Fortress, a symbol of the city and one of the best-preserved fortresses in the Balkans, with preserved buildings from the Ottoman Empire and archeological excavations from the period of the Roman Empire. 

    The Cafe Restaurant Pozornica at the summer stage, well integrated into the configuration of the fortress, is a place where we will take a break and taste southern Serbia's wines. 

    Transfer to Skull Tower, the unique monument in the world of great importance testifies to the tragic history of the Serbs after the battle of Čegar.

    Short drive to the archaeological site Mediana, a Roman settlement created at the end of the 3rd or early 4th century, consisting of a complex of summer residences such as urban villas and a large farm by the road that led to Serdica (Sofia) and Constantinople (Istanbul). Mediana is declared an immovable cultural asset of exceptional importance. Among the researched buildings, the following stand out: a villa with a peristyle, baths, a wine cellar, a palace with an octagonal tower, two early Christian churches, and a necropolis.

    After visiting Medina wine lovers will be able to experience a unique journey through wine time, from Roman times to the present day, in the over 110-year-old wine cellar. What makes the Malča cellar recognizable and unique in Serbia is the wine that is aged in amphorae, just like in Roman times.

    Lunch or dinner at the beautiful garden restaurant of the winery.

    The duration of the tour with lunch or dinner is approximately 6 hours.

    Return to the hotel around 16:00 or 20:00 PM
