I’ve been sort of forced into taking a 2 week last minute annual leave in June – effectively have 15 – 16 days in total to play with.
I’m from the UK but never really done central or Eastern Europe. I’ve backpacked around most of Western Europe, SE Asia and Africa a few years back in my late teens and early twenties and I’m 28 now.
I’ve been thinking of some places I want to visit based on recommendations and things I want to do a bit of in this period:
Budapest
Montenegro
Serbia/Albania
Slovenia
Turkey
I want to split time equally between:
City and culture
Bars and nightlife
Mountains and hiking
Beach/lake chilling
I’m thinking in reality I only have time to 3 cities/locations properly in this period .
Happy to stay in hostels or hotels depending on place and ideally spending as little as possible on accommodation… Backpacker/party hostels are great as long as they have good reviews!
I would be flying out/into Heathrow or Gatwick. Rest of trip between or within countries can be bus, train or flights.
Budget: £1700
Does anyone have any similar trips or experience on planning a little trip like this?
Thanks in advance!
