Welcome to The Balkans and Beyond, our Balkan travel blog designed to entertain, assist and inspire. We are Katy and Charlotte and have well and truly caught the travel bug. We have explored some amazing places, eaten lots of food and still have a bucket list a mile long. Balkan travel has captivated us so many of our articles feature practical tips and experiences in the countries of the Balkans.
We have visited over 50 different countries, most of them together, meaning we can feature them in detail in our blogs. Balkan travel is our passion. We return regularly so we can continue exploring and providing practical tips, amusing stories and travel inspiration throughout the Balkans. We love to share our experiences and knowledge of the area and hope to encourage others to explore this beautiful part of the world.
Both of us have busy, full time jobs, and travelling for weeks is just not practical, meaning we must be super efficient with our valuable time. Our blog details how to experience as much Balkan travel as possible, in a limited time, and provides useful, practical tips for turbo tourists. After all, you’re only here once!
Some Balkan countries are not regularly visited by western tourists. This means there is not always a lot of information available, in English, online. People always have a lot of questions about the Balkans and travelling around the region. So, here is a really useful Balkan FAQs page to get you started on your journey.
We would love for you to leave a comment on our page or join us on Insta and Twitter. Thinking about visiting the Balkans? Need some advice, tips or inspiration? Please drop us a message and we’ll get back to you. We look forward to hearing your Balkan stories!
