About this experience
Moldova is a land where traditions come alive, landscapes unfold gently, and hospitality warms the heart. Ancient monasteries carved into limestone cliffs, serene forests, rolling hills, legendary wine cellars, and golden sunshine create a charm unlike anywhere else.
The enigmatic region of Transnistria—a territory not internationally recognized—offers a rare glimpse into a world frozen in time, where Soviet heritage still lingers.
Just across the border, Bucovina (Romania) captivates visitors with its world-famous painted monasteries, each a UNESCO-listed masterpiece of medieval art and spirituality.
In both Moldova and Bucovina, people are renowned for their warmth and generosity, welcoming travelers as friends and sharing stories, flavors, and traditions passed down through generations.
