Southeastern Europe

Returning to Europe only six months on from my last visit, it's high time I finally got around to exploring Eastern Europe properly. On seven previous trips to the continent I have almost exclusively travelled through its western half (with my only previous glimpses behind the former Iron Curtain being a pair of visits to Prague and a three-week foray through southern Poland and Slovakia) so I have come up with a plan, ambitious as always, to effectively undertake two completely different trips, one after the other, that will hopefully enable me to explore as much as possible of Southeastern Europe.

The first trip is intended as an old-fashioned backpacking jaunt through the former Yugoslav countries of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro (and possibly North Macedonia), before finishing up in Albania.
