Hear about travel to Albania, North Macedonia, and Kosovo as the Amateur Traveler talks to Justin Barnes about his recent trip to the Balkans.
Why should someone go to the Balkans?
Justin says, “It’s a fascinating intersection of the East and West. It’s been shaped by history over many different iterations from the Greeks to the Illyrians to the Byzantines to the Ottomans. And whenever you have a place like that’s been shaped by so many different cultures and with such a fascinating history, you see a lot of things you don’t really see elsewhere on the globe.”
“In addition, it’s very inexpensive. The places that I’m going to be talking about, Albania, North Macedonia are much less expensive than even other places in the Balkans, let alone the rest of Europe. The area was much more green and lush than I was expecting. I don’t know what I was expecting, but I wasn’t expecting beautiful green forests everywhere.”
“nd the cities that we went to, pretty much everything was walkable. Aside from the time that it takes to get from one city to the next, once you’re actually where you need to be, you can walk around. The weather’s good. The people are nice. I always felt safe. There’s a lot to offer.”
Justin recommends a detailed itinerary for a trip through Albania, North Macedonia, and Kosovo. Here is the itinerary based on his detailed description:
