Reality Check
Walking for between 3-5 hours, along traditional shepherds' paths, forest tracks, and ancient Roman roads.
Our varied programme of daily walks will take us through a mixture of silent forests and lush flower-filled meadows, as well as over some rocky karst terrain.
Although for the most part moderately gentle, the trails on this holiday are often quite rough and undulating, and do include the occasional steep ascent and descent as we climb over ridges or drop down into deep valleys and gorges. However, throughout the trip, the pace of walking will remain very relaxed and leisurely, allowing plenty of time to enjoy the landscape and nature of the region through which we pass, and to give us ample opportunities to stop and observe the flora and fauna, to take photographs, and to talk to the local people.
NB: Exodus also offers a challenging 8-day walking holiday in the Bulgarian National Parks (Trip Code: TVB). On some dates it is possible to combine the two trips to make a fantastic 15-day itinerary. Ask a member of our sales team for details.

Normally 6 to 16, plus leader. Minimum age 16.
Icons explained
The vast majority of Exodus adventures are adult group holidays. Groups are always small in size. We strongly believe that this adherence to small groups means a better experience for all; more time with your guide, less waiting around and a reduced impact on the communities and environments visited.
Each group is generally made up of like-minded travellers - with singles, couples and friends all joining in together.
All these trips are suitable for single travellers, but if you prefer to travel with clients booking individually, please
see our Solo Departures page.
No experience is necessary; those who take weekend hill walks in areas like the Peak District or Cotswold’s at home should manage a B-grade trek; good health and reasonable fitness are important. These Moderately graded departures are either fairly easy medium-duration walks or harder, shorter walks.
Special Interest: For those who have a passion for archaeology, food, flowers, languages or yoga. Solar eclipse departures and specialist conservation holidays are also included.
Relaxed Itinerary: A range of itineraries seeking out intriguing and off the-beaten-path destinations in a little extra comfort!
Walking & Trekking: Trips are wholly trekking-focused or simply include a significant number of walking days during the itinerary.
Wildlife: Trips may be wholly wildlife focused, or contain an element of wildlife viewing within a less specific itinerary.
Wilderness: Visit the deserts, jungles, plateaux, tundra and mountains of all seven continents, including Antarctica.
Culture: Let Exodus show you a different side to many of the world's greatest cultural attractions.
