Travel company offering tours and authentic experiences to under-explored destinations around the world. Emphasis on small producers and eco-friendliness
(2)

Real Escape Travel was founded to provide people with authentic experiences in under-explored countries and regions around the world. We welcome both solo travellers and couples/groups alike, and we do NOT charge a single room supplement for solo travellers. By going on any of our tours-regardless of length or destination-you will experience the place through local eyes, and you will see lesser we

ll known sites and aspects of the country without only sticking to the famous attractions. This will include dining in private homes (as well as cooking demonstrations/lessons), both in the cities and the countryside. There is an emphasis on smaller producers and eco-friendliness, such as visiting small countryside farms whose owners produce top quality goods whilst being mindful of the environment around them. Above all, we are committed to providing the best possible service to each and every customer and doing everything we can to ensure each and every customer has an outstanding experience. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any special requirements.

Istria, Croatia is full of so many historical gems. 🇭🇷 This is a 13th century wall painting in St Vincent’s church, Svetvinčenat. The top half shows Jesus Christ in Heaven, but the bottom half shows the Devil destroying souls as they burn in the hellfire 🔥 One of them is being crushed in his mouth.

How’s that for motivating people to listen to their priest?

Bale, Istrian peninsula, Croatia 🇭🇷 This historic town is in south-west Istria. In Bale, both the Croatian and Italian languages are in official use. The 2021 census revealed that almost 50% of the population spoke Italian. Meanwhile, the Lion of St. Mark-the historical symbol of Venice-stands proudly in the city gate and is a reminder of when Venice ruled this part of Istria. Venetian influence in Bale’s architecture is easy to see.

We loved Bale, which was so full of culture and history whilst its streets are exceptionally clean. It’s very much worth a visit.

🚨 WE’RE BACK! 🤩 After the disaster of Covid we are back in action to bring you new travel content and tours. Here is me (Dino, founder) in Korčula old town, Croatia, earlier this year 🇭🇷
We have re-worked and updated our offerings and will for the time being focus on tours in the Balkans (particularly to Croatia 🇭🇷 and Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦). In addition, we have created itineraries in Bristol, UK and the Cotswolds! But these are with our own twist, involving getting you beneath the surface and off the beaten track to really discover these destinations.

In just a few days, we are departing to the Balkans for our own travels. Our first destination is in Istria, north-west Croatia. Make sure to follow along!

WE’RE BACK after a turbulent few years of Covid and upheaval! We hope that everyone has been safe and well. ⭐️ Silence has plagued this page for so long, but there will be regular content once more. We will also start sending newsletters again. Not on the mailing list for newsletters and like to be on it? Please comment below or message us 😊

In September and October, we travelled back to our region of the former Yugoslavia, specifically Croatia 🇭🇷 and Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦 Here are a couple of photos from that trip which were taken on Mljet island, Croatia. This is one of our favourite places in the region, and a stop on our upcoming tours scheduled in 2023. Our website should be back very soon after getting hacked; resolving it has been a longer process than we thought! Please bear with us a little longer 😊

In the meantime, please comment below to tell us about your recent travels. ⬇️ Or, tell us about your upcoming plans for 2023

Traditional dancing in Kraljeva Sutjeska, Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦 In rural parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina it is still quite common for people to wear full traditional dress, especially on special occasions. This type of dance and singing is very old and dates to at least the Middle Ages #travel #bosnia #traveleurope #dancing

Our founder, Dino Zelenika, says hello from Sutjeska National Park! Located in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, this park contains the country’s highest peak and Perućica forest, one of the last two primeval forests in Europe #travel #nature #adventure #bosnia #mountains #holiday #sutjeska

Excellent video about one of our favourite Bosnian pie shops in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina :) This is one of the most famous and delicious foods from the country. However, we only call the meat pie 'burek', the others are just 'pie' #travel #food #delicious #bosnia #sarajevo #adventure
