Discover the hidden treasures of the Balkan: its National Parks from Croatia to Greece.

The Balkan Peninsula is one of the three southern European peninsulas and 500,000 square kilometres in size. Politically, it is known as Europe's poorhouse and powder keg. Poetically, it is the geographical border between Occident and Orient. Long shunned, it is an almost unknown beauty. Five seas lap its rugged shores: the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara, the Aegean Sea, the Ionian Sea and the Adriatic Sea. Its hidden treasures are the national parks from Croatia to Greece. Go on a cinematic journey to the wild part of Europe - across mountains, lakes and seas.
