Introduction

If you love lace ... then join us for our

LACEMAKING TOUR TO THE BEAUTY SPOTS ON EUROPE’S EXQUISITE FACE -  SLOVENIA & CROATIA

Lace in all its forms has long been a magnet to many people. In the past, lacemaking has always conjured up visions of delicate threads which have become antique objects of great beauty, evoking romantic destinations and the sign of a person’s great wealth. Nowadays, you can visit areas of the world where handmade lace is still made – unique places of spectacular beauty - without it costing you a king’s ransom.

Our tours of Slovenia and Croatia will transport you to another world – the world of lacemaking. In Venice we visit the island of Burano before continuing to the lacemaking town in Slovenia where the famous Idrija tape lace is made and to other places whose history has been defined by lace.

For those who love the beauty of nature at its very best, there is Lake Bled with its exquisite little island, Bohinj Lake in its stunning alpine setting and Postojna Caves in their limestone magnificence. Nearby is Predjama Castle which is built in the mouth of a cave! You will also visit Piran, perched neatly on the Adriatic coast, Radovljica with its medieval streetscape, Maribor in the Slovenian wine country and the relaxed capital city of Ljubljana with its lovely architecture and fabled history of Jason and the Argonauts.

You can also join our optional tour to Croatia which includes visits to Dubrovnik’s famous medieval old town and the historic city of Split where the Roman Emperor Diocletian built his palace, the lacemaking island of Hvar on the Dalmatian Coast as well as the beautiful lavender and lace island of Korcula. Two UNESCO World Heritage sites, Kotor Bay in Montenegro and Plitvice Lakes in Croatia, will also be explored, making this a wonderful extension to your Slovenian tour.

If you love lace … and making lace, as well as spectacular scenery and medieval gems, then you  should come with us on these wonderful tours to the beauty spots on Europe’s exquisite face.
