This full-day bus tour explores the eastern region of Serbia, starting early in the morning from your accommodation in Belgrade. The journey begins with a 1.5-hour drive to Manasija Monastery, a 15th-century complex surrounded by 12 towers built to protect the Church of Saint Trinity. The monastery’s frescoes are notable examples of medieval Serbian art. Next, the group visits Resava Cave, an 80-million-year-old natural site discovered in 1962 and open to the public since 1972. Visitors walk through about 800 meters of tunnels filled with stalagmites and stalactites; the cave maintains a constant temperature of 7°C, so warm clothing is advised. After the cave, the tour continues to Veliki Buk Waterfall at Lisine, a prominent natural attraction in Eastern Serbia. Then the route leads to Krupajsko Vrelo, a karst spring situated 30 km from the waterfall, known for its turquoise water. A lunch break is taken at Gornjak, where guests can try trout and local dishes. The return drive to Belgrade takes about two hours, ending with a drop-off at the original accommodation. The tour duration is about 9 to 10 hours and includes a professional English-speaking guide, bottled water, WiFi on board, air-conditioned transportation, hotel pickup and drop-off, entry tickets to the three main sites, and a professional driver. Lunch and personal expenses are not included.
