Hi Cetin,
in June 2011 we took a train from Freiburg/Germany to Istanbul. The plan was, to cycle as far as we can into the direction home within the remaining time of about 3 weeks. So we cycled from Turkey to Croatia and passed Greece, Macedonia, Kosovo (by train and bus, because cycling was to dangerous, the car-drivers are not used to bikers), Montenegro (wonderful landscape, bad roads ;-) and Croatia. The coastal highway in Croatia is to small for cars and bikes, so we didn't cycle much there.
How good is your German? (Because we wrote a closed blog about our tour.)
Hopefully we will be in Turkey for our cycling holiday in June this year.
Lot's of greatings,
Ellen
Hello,
If you do not hurry, you have to go through the Rhodopes, South Bulgaria, then join the Danube. Through the park Semenic Romania and so on ...
Ellen and Patrick thank u very much for your informative explanations.I hope my friend n I ll be on the way in July for this great tour.
By the way Ellen if u r here in June i can host u in my flat.
Take care n good luck friends..

Until then, greetings, Ellen.
