Escape to Off the Beaten Path Europe | Solo Trekker
Escape to Off the Beaten Path Europe: I found Montenegro to be an enchanting part of Europe off the beaten path. As formerly part of Yugoslavia, it is bordered in the south by Albania on the storied Adriatic or Dalmatian Coast.It is a great value with the same seacapes, scenery, beaches and local cuisines to sample found in much of the Mediterranean at a higher price. I combined my trip with Greece and Turkey since Montenegro and the former Yugoslavia nations are a well-located cross roads.
