Nowhere else on Earth can you feel the traditional spirit of Serbia as intensely as in its ethno villages, scattered across the hidden and most beautiful landscapes this wonderful country has to offer.
They stand as the modern guardians of the Serbian tradition which, combined with the warm hospitality, bring the ancient ways of living and customs of old back to life.
In the last decade, a vast number of authentic ethno villages and farm settlements in Serbia has opened its doors for the locals as well as visitors from abroad. The term “ethnic village” implies a place that preserves the national heritage of its people, which is reflected in their architecture, national cuisine and the content of activities in which guests can participate in.
In these small kingdoms of folk tradition, fortified along the winding rural roads, the old, traditional ways of life and customs are nurtured, creating an overall impression that the time here stands still. Ethno villages are built after the model of the old Serbian villages. Each of these oases of tradition reveals the wonders of the Serbian folk architecture, as well as numerous legends that come along with it.
There you can participate in the adventure of preparing spicy national dishes, or making the world-famous plum brandy, wine, honey, pickled winter food, and try out the old, perhaps already forgotten crafts, or enjoy in the antiquities our forefathers have used once upon a time.
Like faithful guardians of the traditional way of life in Serbia, ethnic villages are usually surrounded with a lush nature and a number of historical sites and epitomes of culture. Intact nature, clean air, pure waters and delicious food, traditional ambiance, as well as the hospitality of Serbian farmers are the main advantages that these places offer, providing a refreshing break and a perfect getaway from the fast and stressful urban life.
