Forget about the best places to visit in Europe, those are way too crowded! The standard holiday destinations in Europe are overrun by tourists between June and September and therefore I urge you to go off the beaten path in Europe. Here is my list of unique places to visit in Europe for 2023.

A couple weeks ago there was only one unexplored region in Europe left for me to discover and this trip was on my bucketlist for so long already. Finally I found time to go on a Balkan road trip and explore 6 new countries. I had been to Slovenia and Croatia before but not yet to Bosnia, Montenegro, Albania, Macedonia, Kosovo and Serbia. I was super excited to see all the Balkan highlights and was more than delighted to do this road trip with my super chill Peugeot 5008, my new favorite car.

Due to a busy travel schedule on my road trip through the Balkan countries I only had two days in Albania. Looking for things to do I found a 2 day hike from Valbona to Theth through the mountains which looked great. But how to get there from Shkoder? The best way… take the Komani Lake Ferry from Koman to Fierze!
