Come and visit

Today, I will be answering your question: Why should you visit the Balkans?

The Balkans are full of beautiful countries, they have beaches and mountains. Looking for healthy forms of entertainment? You can find them here. Every country is beautiful in its own way. There are countless places to visit and history to explore.

 I have and seen lots of comments and stories about people who visited western Balkans and they were always very satisfied. Maybe 4 to 5 people experienced something unpleasant but that was just some bad luck. People who experience something bad usually spread hate on the internet and than other people get the wrong picture. 

For example, about a month ago my father went to Spain. His bag got stolen; phones, documents, money all that was gone. Stuff happens and you can't change it now. That said you can see that even in big and developed countries like Spain those kinds of unpleasant things happen.

I can confidently say that if you need help. Most younger people will know how to explain you things on English and that they will be glad to do so. Also it would be good to rent yourself a car unless you are going with a tourist agency. 

If you are a fan of good food, you just need to find a good looking restaurant, it would be good to ask some locals (that Is, if they know English). Prices on are not high and the food is usually great. In my previous blog about food I mentioned some foods that I love. Just know that in the Balkan countries meat is always the main dish always followed by bread or potatoes. 

Hotels:

Well, you can pretty easily find a good hotel at a reasonable price, but if you really want to go all out you will also be able to find some luxurious 5 star hotels. When ever I went somewhere on the Balkans I had a place to stay, usually at my relatives house.

 I did go on some trips with my school in Montenegro but just around Montenegro. Since schools didn't want to organize a trip for a lot of money, nor did they want that their students get poisoned. We always stayed at some 2 to 3 star hotels for about 150€ for 7 days plus we had buses to transport us, 3 meals every day and some other things. So the price of the hotel was probably even lower. The rooms were always spacious with everything that you need. We had no inconveniences what so ever. 

 That is it for today, stay tuned. :-)

Beautiful caves of Serbia

Beautiful caves of Serbia

Today I will be writing a short story about my visit to Serbia and “Resavska
Pećina” (Resavska cave).

 I went with my family: mother, father, brother. I personally was very tired after the tour, but it was worth it. We were visiting Belgrade for 2 weeks and we decided to see a cave. I didn't want to go but in the end I was convinced. We didn't know anything, only what the internet told us. The trip was about 2 to 3h long, we went by car. We managed somehow and we reached our destination. It was super cool, there were all kinds of crystals and different stone patterns. It was amazing.

Some facts about the cave:

It was discovered by shepherds in 1962. It was being worked on for 10 years and was open for visit in 22.4.1972. The length of the cave is 4500m. Around 2850m is explored and 800m is open for tourists. The tour usually takes about 40min. Bring extra clothes because the temperature is constant 7*C with air humidity of 80%-100%. The cave is open from 1. April to 31. October

After we visited the cave we went to a restaurant that is about 1h away. The food was delicious but what is really beautiful is the scenery. The restaurant is stationed near a river and about 50m from the restaurant there is a beautiful waterfall. My FB profile picture is “me in front of that waterfall”.
