We start from Niš or Belgrade of Serbia, driving along twisting mountain roads dotted with the most magnificent calstles in Bulgaria to an open, boundless costal lines in Greece with sweet forest breeze and gentle ocean breeze caressing every inch of our skin, where we will venture into the deep breathtakingly beautiful mountains, dive right into the depth of the turquoise ocean, lie on the grass whenever we are tired. On our way back, we will take an entire different route from the other side of Greece, all the way to the stunning Ohrid lake shared by Greece, North Macedonia and Albania, to the beautiful North Macedonia road clamped in-between river on the right and mountain on the left, until we come to the magic end of our adventure in Nis or Belgrade.
