2 days from Iasi to Moldova Republic with Cricova Winery

Begin your journey in the vibrant city of Iași, where you'll be picked up from your hotel and whisked away on a scenic drive to Chișinău, the heart of Moldova. En route, pause to admire the serene beauty of the Capriana Monastery, a testament to Moldova's rich religious heritage. Upon arrival in Chișinău, immerse yourself in the city's charm with a guided tour. Stand in awe before the majestic Triumphal Arch and enjoy a leisurely walk through the lush Central Park, all while delving into the tales of Stephen the Great. As the day winds down, explore the subterranean wonders of Cricova Winery, where you'll traverse its vast tunnels and savor exquisite Moldovan wines. Conclude your day with a restful night at a comfortable hotel in Chișinău (or similar).

Rise early for a captivating journey to the Old Orhei Museum Complex, nestled within a dramatic rocky gorge. This archaeological treasure trove offers a glimpse into the lives of ancient civilizations, with its preserved ruins of a Golden Horde city and ancient stone caverns. Continue to Palanca Village, where time seems to stand still. Here, at the 'Parents' House,' you'll be warmly welcomed by Mrs. Tatiana, who will treat you to a sumptuous Moldovan feast, showcasing the region's culinary delights. After a hearty meal, unleash your creativity in a hands-on crafting session, crafting a handmade bracelet as a memento of your Moldovan adventure. As the sun sets, return to Iași, bringing your unforgettable journey to a close.
