From Sofia: Belene - Communist Camps, Roman Ruins & Wildlife

Some destinations are beautiful. Some are historic. Very few are both - and almost none come with a story that no one else is telling. Belene Island sits in the middle of the Danube between Bulgaria and Romania. In a single extraordinary day you will stand where Roman soldiers controlled the frontier of the Empire, step inside a church that became a shrine to martyrs executed for their faith, walk through Bulgaria's most significant communist-era labour camp, and watch Dalmatian pelicans glide over Danube wetlands. But here is what makes this tour truly unique. The communist camp closed in 1989 - yet Belene Island never stopped being a place of confinement. An active prison operates here today, right alongside the memorial park and the Roman ruins. History here is not behind glass. It is still happening. Maximum 8 guests. Guaranteed from 1 booking. The only tour like this from Sofia. Note: passport copy required at least 48 hours before departure - we arrange your permit.
