Serbia numbers around 7 million residents. Its capital, Belgrade, ranks among the oldest and largest cities in Southeastern Europe. The Pannonian Plain covers the northern third of the country (Vojvodina and Mačva) while the easternmost tip of Serbia extends into the Wallachian Plain. Serbia's many sights include stunning castles, Medieval monasteries, lovely traditional villages and bustling cities with baroque parks and art-deco architecture. Largest national park in the country is Đerdap in the eastern part of the country, on the border with Romania. It consists of the Djerdap gorge thru which the river Danube runs and its beautiful surroundings of almost untouched nature.

Belgrade

Partially cleared forests were transformed into vineyards and orchards. Wine from Župa and the royal cellars in Oplenac are droplets of history distilled into tradition. The villages of central Serbia nurture the tradition of good health, typical of this region. Central Serbia is often thought of as one big fruit and vegetable garden with a big product production annually. Chose among fishing, hunting, skiing, swimming or horse-riding, as they are the main activities you should try in this region.

Novi Sad

The region is so in the middle of all the european culture, so you will find churches, mosques and synagogues. The region also has many castles and old forteresses that are waiting to be explored. If you want to see the nature you have to go to Fruska Gora a huge natural park at the south of Novi Sad. Also it possesses a dozen of monasteries of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Combining the European Baroque with the Byzantine traditions of the Balkans, these churches have a cultural importance as a bridge between the Southern and the Northern Serbs.

There is a wide variety of historical, natural, religious and artistic sights to see in Bulgaria. All across the country there are remains of different epochs and eras, societies and peoples, spiritual and artistic personae that create a beautiful mix of ethnic culture full of unique traditions and rituals combined with a sense of belonging to the movements that have shaped the world as we know it today. The Bulgarian tourist movement, established more than one hundred years ago, has promoted the acknowledgement of all the sights that form the distinguished Bulgarian identity through its so called '100 Tourist Sites of Bulgaria' program that covers most of Bulgaria's must-see attractions. Of course, nowadays the program includes more than two hundred and fifty one-of-a-kind places of interest but the code still remains.

Mostly mountainous, it has access to a tiny portion of the Adriatic Sea coastline in the south. Great natural attractions can be found all around, even close to the main cities. Take a horse carriage to Vrelo Bosne to join Sarajevo for quiet getaways and picnics. The waterfalls of Kravice, about 40km from Mostar, make for another fabulous natural trip. A popular spot for city dwellers and rafters, the water of the Trebižat River drops some 30 meters in a beautiful natural setting of tuff walls. Top picks for village life can be found in the historic citadel of Počitelj, Blagaj or, for environmentalists, in the Zelenkovac ecovillage near Mrkonjić Grad. Just outside of Radimlja is the largest collection of Stećak, a remarkable kind of pre-Ottoman tombstones that are found throughout the ancient Bosnian Kingdom.

Croatia_LTW.jpg

Bordering Hungary to the northeast, Serbia to the east, Bosnia and Herzegovina to the southeast, Montenegro to the southeast  and Slovenia to the northwest. Croatia has an impressive history, a fact that is best explained through the vast array of sites worth visiting. Most towns have an historical centre with its typical architecture. There are differences between the coast and the continental part, so both areas are a must. The most famous town is probably Dubrovnik, a prime example of the coastal architecture, but by no means the only one worth visiting. Equally important is the capital and largest city, Zagreb, with a population of about 1 million. It is a modern city with all the modern features, yet it has a laid back feel. In the east, in the region of Slavonia, the regional capital Osijek and the war torn Vukovar are awe inspiring. Scattered throughout the region are vineyards and wine cellars, most of which offer tours and tastings.

Being a passionate traveler myself, I try to rediscover my country Serbia and present it in a raw and unaltered way. It’s a fun goal - shedding light on a big culture, its festive people, and nature, that sits in the shadowed corner of Europe. I am Milena, a person of many interests and a wanderer at the soul. My mom still keeps that poem that I wrote at the age of 6 about a flower and a worm and, you guessed it, likes to tell it at family reunions. Since then, I’ve built a portfolio of poems, articles, and interviews published in various media.Things I can't do without: nature, sun, coffee, and friends. Love getting lost in big cities, spending a whole day in a museum, or going on extended camping trips. The world is so diverse, and I enjoy every bit of it!
