The picnic lunch consist of bread, vegetables, salami and ham specialties, cheese, tuna fish
- We use local guesthouses, family hotels and huts owned by locals. As a part of our responsible policy for supporting small local businesses we tend to avoid big hotel chains. We like to keep things simple, clean and friendly. We think that staying in locally owned properties will give you a better knowledge of the area where you stay and will help you interact more with local people and learn more about their traditions and culture. Our package prices include accommodation in a double room, single room accommodation is also available with an extra payment. We try to accommodate our clients in rooms with private facilities, but some villages and huts do not have that option, thus, you will have to share facilities at rare occasions.
