I am currently planning my spring break trip in march (12 days). I really want to see a bit of eastern europe during this time, mostly because its more detached and preserved than much of the rest of europe, and there are less tourists/its cheaper. I will probably be cutting out a place or two to be more realistic.. but here is what I have so far:

Split, Croatia – 2 days
Dubrovnik, Croatia – 2 days
Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina – 2 days
Srebrenik, Bosnia and Herzegovina – 2 days
Sibiu, Romania – 2 days
Bucharest, Romania – 2 days

I figure i need to give about 3 days for travel, but for the most part, each of the places are pretty close. I’m currently in Florence and will probably be taking a ferry down to split (any advice on that??) But what I wanted some advice on was where to go in these three countries in such a short time. Keep in mind that I’m a 20 year old poor student. I was also wondering if anyone knows what its like in these places during late march, and if the beaches are worth going to if it will be cold..?

Thanks!
Claire

Yea, impossible for now. I would cut out two or three places. It’s not all that fast traveling within the balkans and you will certainly need to give yourself some extra time.

If you really want to save lots of money, Croatia is getting much more expensive as of late. Consider Bulgaria — very new, fresh and cheap.
