A Tale of Transylvania:
Transylvania, meaning "the land beyond the forest", is a historical region in central Romania. Surrounded by the wild Carpathian Mountains, sheltering and supporting habitats of rare fauna and flora, while in their foothills the time seems to have stood still to sustain a fascinating and undisturbed archaic way of life, that goes unchanged for centuries, in a fairytale like place, unbound to modern age.
Well known for its rich and peculiar history, commonly associated with vampires and Dracula, Transylvania is also known for its charming landscape, dotted with ancient strongholds, fortified churches, stunning castles and medieval cities.
Since the dawns of times a true melting pot of many different cultures and influences, the region imposed itself lately, as a hub for preservation and conservation of natural and traditional values.
To reveal A Tale of Transylvania, during 9 nights and 10 days, we propose an itinerary spanning across the geography of the region and its wonders, along a living trail of all the cultures that once flourished and perished, just to revive again nowadays. A journey across abiding times and into ancient legends still alive.
