An Overview Of 14 Day Itinerary
Escaping from work with several annual leaves plus the Easter holiday, we structured a two-week adventure journey to Balkan Countries. After planning for weeks, we started our travel for our Two Week Vacation : Greece, North Macedonia, Kosovo, and Albania. I, my fiancée Charmaine, and my friend Tommy embarked the exciting journey with our first stop in Athens.
Two Week In A Nutshell
Greek Island Hopping
Our travel odyssey commenced in the vibrant city of Athens, Greece, serving as our starting point. From there, we started our island hopping journey with two mini-trips in Santorini and Mykonos. As a typical backpacker, travel to the two island with the most economical way via the ferry system.
After bidding farewell to the Greek islands, we returned to Athens for our flight to Skopje, the capital city of North Macedonia. This is the first stop of another three mini-trips in the three Balkan Countries by bus.
Traveling Balkan Country By Bus
Starting from the Skopje airport, we spent 3 days packed with scenic icons, landscapes, local food and experiences in the city.Next, we embarked on a scenic bus journey to the alluring destination of Kosovo. We stayed in Pristina for 3 days 2 nights, exploring one of the youngest Countries in the world founded in 2008. Subsequently, we ended our journey at the international bus terminal of Tirana Albania. There we dedicated 3 days rushing to visit the best bunker museums in the world along with other famous icons.
Archeological Sites Hunt In Athens
Finally, we flew back to Athens our first stop. This time we indulged in a captivating 4-day, 3-night city visit. During the four days, we found the most budget-friendly way to explore the main archeological sites of Athens for just 30 EUR per person. On top of that, we also paid a visit to several local icons free of charge !
