Around the Western Balkans in 7 Days
The regional trip was a whirlwind adventure, and I wouldn’t have traded it for the world. We traveled to four other countries in the Balkans. The Balkans are an ethnically diverse region of Central and Eastern Europe between Austria/Hungary, Italy, and Turkey. It is home to the former Yugoslavia (1918-1992).
Fun fact: Kosovo has a similar latitude to Rochester, New York. The Western Balkans, in general, has a similar summer climate to Rochester.
