Açıklama

Explore the most authentic Gagauzia: among villages, Soviet symbols, monasteries, abandoned places, and traditional flavors in a region that few know.
Departure from Chișinău between 8:30 AM and 9:00 AM.
After a brief introduction to the day, we will set off for Gagauzia! During the journey (about 90 minutes), we will retrace the history of Moldova and the Gagauz people, explaining the events that led to the birth of this Autonomous region within Moldova!

We'll start in the Gagauz capital of Comrat, exploring its iconic landmarks and the famous Soviet T-34 tank. We will then continue to a mysterious "hidden" monastery, a place of deep spirituality that houses rare special icons (out of respect for local traditions, we will not be allowed to photograph them).

At lunch, we'll immerse ourselves in Gagauz food culture: typical dishes prepared according to local recipes, to get to know the flavors and traditions of this Turkish-speaking Orthodox people up close.

In the afternoon, we will leave Comrat to explore the villages of the region, each ready to reveal its hidden gems:

*An abandoned Soviet airport, where you can see the legendary Antonov An-2 aircraft up close.
*A striking House of Culture abandoned after a fire, the perfect setting with a decadent charm for lovers of Urbex and photography.
*Unique Soviet monuments and symbols, true pieces of history that have remained intact over time and cannot be found in the rest of Moldova.

A journey through history, culture and places suspended in time, designed for those seeking authenticity beyond the tourist maps.

The tour is available in two versions:
Standard Gagauzia Tour:
The ideal solution for those who only have one day and want to get the most out of the experience: history, interesting facts, and the main attractions of Comrat and its surroundings. Drop-off in Chișinău between 7:00 PM and 7:30 PM.

2-day Gagauzia + Milestii Mici (optional):
A unique two-day experience designed for those who want to go beyond the day visit and wish to stay overnight in Gagauzia.
After a busy day of history, villages, and Soviet icons, we'll have dinner together in the evening at a local restaurant. It will be the perfect opportunity to share impressions, learn more about the history of Gagauzia, and have all your questions answered in a relaxed atmosphere.

On the second day, we'll explore off-the-beaten-track villages and local museums. We will meet the locals for an even deeper and more authentic immersion in the Gagauz culture that is difficult to grasp in a single day.

On the way back, we will stop at Mileștii Mici, the world's largest underground cellar. Those who wish can take part in a guided visit with tasting (optional activity, ticket not included) before returning to Chișinău.

At the end of the tour, I will take you directly to your hotel. If, on the other hand, your flight departs on that very day, you can conclude the experience with transport directly to Chișinău Airport, without having to return to the city.
Guests are free to choose where to stay overnight in Gagauzia.
