Suggestions for a Base in the Balkans
Toying with an idea for a 3 to 4 week trip in June 2009 down through the Balkans and looking suggestions for a base for a week. Two poeple/ two bikes.
Ideally smaller old village, with easy access to a few good day rides (say 100 to 300 km round trips). Ideally looking for accommodation that would allow self catering, like a “gite” or a decent/ secure camp site (so can leave tent and some gear behind whilst doing day trips).
At this stage have no preference, but mountains would be preferred over the coast as not a big fan of the heat and crowds (will be June after all!!!!) and everything that I have read about Slovenia to Albania all looks interesting, so really just trying to narrow down the field a bit.
A couple of the posts mention Sarajevo as a must see? Was hoping for a smaller base as not a fan of large towns/ cities.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
