Why the Balkans Should Be Your Next Big Adventure
Forget everything you may think you know about the Balkans. Those outdated images of conflict zones and gray communist-era cities? Yugoslavia is now broken up into some beautiful countries attracting tourists from all over. Today's Balkans are Europe's most thrilling adventure, and it is mainly due to the mountains, amazing food, new cultures, and the affordability of everything. The Balkans represent everything modern travelers claim to want but struggle to find elsewhere: authentic cultures untouched by mass tourism, stunning natural beauty without the crowds, rich historical layers that tell Europe's most fascinating stories, and prices that make luxury experiences accessible to everyone. It's like discovering Europe before everyone else figured out how incredible it was. There are issues like transportation is a bit different going from the EU to these countries, but for the most part it is a new adventure. This is adventure travel for people who thought adventure travel meant sacrificing comfort, cultural travel for those who assumed culture came with tourist theater, and budget travel for those who never imagined luxury could be affordable.
