If you plan to travel trough the balkans i have some very useful Tips:

  • Prepare for wild dogs (go slow when you see dogs/ scream at them if they try to attack)
  • Prepare for shitty roads with reckless drivers
  • Sunscreen every 2-3 hours!!!
  • Prepare for extremely hot weather in these months (>37 degrees celcius)
  • Prepare for water supply only out of wells and rarely
  • No Bicycle shops for a looong time
  • Prepare for Beautiful scenery
  • Prepare for the Time of your Life and many lovely and interesting People along the Way
