It Was an Awesome Round Trip in The Balkans

Hey folks, how’s everyone doing out  there? I am doing good but I  guess, I am still having a jetlag.  That memorable trip is still haunting me until now.  It’s been over a week now since I came back from that recent travels in the Balkans but it seems that my thoughts are still left from those wonderful and interesting places I visited  in that region.

The places visited during my recent round trip in the Balkans.

The Balkans, also known as the Balkan Peninsula, is a geographical region of Southeast Europe. It was my second visit to the region and I can conclude, those places and countries included in our itinerary  are all worthy to visit.

Bosnia.Neum.DSC_4765
Neum is a coastal town in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This view was taken in my hotel room. It was priceless and it reminds me  of my own home.

Bosnia. Mostar.DSC_5121
The cultural and spiritual icon of Mostar, Stari Most or  The Old Bridge. It is a beautiful historic Ottoman-style bridge, which spanned the Neretva river in what is considered the historic center of the city. 

The Balkans is rich in history and with its wonderful nature, it offers a lot of things to its guests and visitors. Its impressive monasteries and citadels dotting the hillsides, the charming multicultural towns, the beautiful forests and pleasant lakes, are only some of the treasures you can experience in this part of Europe. For beach lovers, the hundreds of kilometers of coastline on both the Adriatic and Black Seas, will surely be a perfect getaway for you.

Montenegro, Perast.DSC_2969.10.2015
Perast is an old town on the Bay of Kotor  in Montenegro. If you want and escape from the busy Kotor and Budva, this can be a perfect place for you.

Time might be limited in every place we visited but at least, I am happy and contented that I was able to see and experience  each of them.  We actually visited 6 countries and some towns and cities during that round trip in the Balkans. Dürres, Kruje, Shkodra (with Rozafa Castle) and Tirana in Albania; Dubrovnik in Croatia; Budva, Bar, Cetinje, Kotor and Perast with the islands St. George island and Gospa od Škrpjela (Our Lady of the Rock) in Montenegro; Neum, Mostar, Tuzla and Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina; Belgrade in Serbia; and Skopje and Ohrid in Macedonia are the  countries and places we experienced during that 10-day round trip in the Balkans.

Macedonia.Skopje.DSC_7275
The monument of  the Warrior on a Horse at the Macedonian Square in Skopje, Macedonia’s capital city. It is typically thought to depict Alexander the Great, though it is not officially named for him. The monument was built in Florence and was officially completed on September 8, 2011 to commemorate 20 years of the independence of the Republic of Macedonia.

I would say, that round trip in the Balkans was an awesome one. I have been to some of those places but as usual, I always love to visit a place again and again especially if I love it.

Serbia.Belgrade.DSC_6685
The Republic Square in Serbia’s capital city of Belgrade. It  is one of the central town squares located in the Stari Grad municipality. It is the site of some of Belgrade’s most recognizable public buildings, including the National Museum, the National Theatre and the statue of Prince Michael.

For now, I would like to share some snapshots of some of the wonderful places we visited from that trip. Enjoy the images and feel free to share this post to any of your social media. Thanks and lastly, I would love to wish everyone a lovely month of November. Cheers and until then…

Albania.Durres.DSC_0423
Thanks to this  this guy who went walking along the beach of Durres in Albania.  He almost perfected this shot that morning.  Durres  is one of the most ancient and economically significant cities of Albania. It is also the country’s second largest city and municipality.

P.S. This post was buried for over a week. Sorry for that guys. I was just so busy with many offline stuffs and my full time job. I wish to share more travel updates one of these days.
