About this tour
Bucovina is where your guide's heart truly lies. The painted monasteries of Voroneț, Sucevița and Moldovița are unique in the world: entire Bibles told in fresco on exterior walls, their blues and golds still vivid after five centuries of mountain weather.
Over two unhurried days we visit the finest monasteries, meet local craftsmen, taste hearty Bucovina cooking and stay in a family-run guesthouse. This is slow travel through a landscape of rolling hills, wooden villages and living faith.
