The trip

Description

From the Mediterranean to the Black Sea, through the most authentic Balkans.

From the mountains of Pindo to the lakes of Prespa and Ohrid, from Skopje and its Ottoman bazaar to the Rila Monastery, to the spectacular Devil's Goles in the Rhodope Mountains: a trip through Greece, North Macedonia, and Bulgaria on ever-different roads.

The arrival at Varna on the Black Sea marks a marked change of atmosphere: a day of rest and relaxation before heading back to Romania.

Transylvania, between legendary hairpin bends and fortified citadel.

The Transfăgărășan and Transalpina, the two most famous mountain roads in Romania, offer towers, alpine lakes and endless views between Sibiu, Sighișoara and Alba Iulia.

The trip ends between the Serbian Danube, Sarajevo and Mostar, to the Sea of Split: from the mountains to the Dalmatian coast, for the perfect conclusion of a great trip.
