DISCOVER OUR JOURNEYS

At Dardanella, we curate intimate small-group journeys through the Balkans and beyond — centered around culture, history, regional cuisine, and meaningful experiences. Thoughtfully designed and intentionally paced, our itineraries invite travelers to discover each destination in a more personal and authentic way.

Based in Belgrade, we host one-day journeys throughout Serbia for travelers seeking a brief escape from the rhythm of the capital, as well as longer multi-day experiences in the Balkans and other destinations, designed around deeper cultural discovery and a more intentional pace of travel.

NOVOSTI

DARDANELLA

Dardanella signifies for us the meeting of East and West, a merging of cultures and traditions and a journey that has defined our lives. We started as a mother-daughter business creating delicious recipes from our beloved Balkans, a region that we loved and called home. What started as a culinary adventure based in Puerto Rico, grew into a travel experience project based in Belgrade, Serbia. Since 2022, we have been designing exclusive travel experiences taking small groups to France, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia and Greece. Our trips reflect our love of food culture, history and leisurely style of travel. We aim to expand our offer soon to include destinations such as Morocco, Algeria, Azerbaijan and Georgia.
