MOLDOVA
A European country sitting well outside the usual tourist routes, bordering Ukraine and Romania. Expect the unexpected in Moldova. Explore world class wineries with miles of undergrounds cellars, step back in time to board an old soviet style sleeper train, or visit Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR) – also known as Transnistria – the country that doesn’t exist. There’s ancient cave settlements to explore and the cave monastery at Old Orhei. Whatever you do, expect a warm welcome, good food and a fun time.
My Favourite Moldova Experiences
I like to travel independently wherever I can, but sometimes, in some places, taking a group tour is absolutely the right decision. Moldova can be one of those places. These are tours I have taken myself, paid for with my own money, and I can highly recommend them.
