Hello!
I am currently planning a bike trip from Trieste to Istanbul, in September 2024.
I’m not planning to organize every detail, but I have two ideas at the moment:
- Following the coast: https://www.komoot.com/it-it/tour/1799078157
- Going through Serbia https://www.komoot.com/it-it/tour/1644590848
The distance is almost the same for both routes, and while the second route is flatter, I’m not afraid of climbing a bit more.
From what I’ve read online, my main concerns are aggressive dogs and crazy traffic.
Do you have any recommendations?
Is warmshower still a thing in Balkans/Greece/Turkey?
Are cities like Podgorica or Prishtina worth visiting?
Any must-see places?
Thank you!!
