Europe (Germany, Austria, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Greece)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

This classic European corridor stretches from the heart of Central Europe through the Alps and down the Adriatic coast to the Mediterranean, spanning Germany, Austria, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, and Greece. Travellers are drawn by an extraordinary mix of experiences — Bavaria's beer halls and alpine scenery, Austria's imperial cities and mountain passes, Italy's art, cuisine, and coastline, and the stunning Adriatic riviera running through Croatia's Dalmatian islands, Montenegro's fjords, and Albania's emerging beaches. Greece anchors the route with ancient ruins, whitewashed island villages, and some of the best sailing waters in Europe. It's a route that blends rich history, diverse cultures, outdoor adventure, and vibrant nightlife, making it a favourite for those who want to cover serious ground across one of the world's most varied travel regions.

Total Europe Self-Launched: Munich to Athens (Alps, Italy, Croatia, Greece)

A 25-day solo-friendly, self-launched version of G Adventures' "Total Europe: Austria, the Mediterranean & Ancient Athens" — a multi-country backpacker route starting in Munich, crossing the Austrian Alps and the Dolomites, through Venice, Florence and Rome, then by overnight ferry to Split and down the Dalmatian coast to Kotor in Montenegro, Albania's beaches, and finally Athens. You book everything yourself — hostels, trains, ferries and a handful of guide-led experiences via GetYourGuide or in-country — instead of joining a fixed group tour. Estimated costs cover accommodation, intercity transport, activities and food, based on current 2026-season backpacker rates in GBP; they are approximate and assume dorm beds and local transport. Spain, Italy and Greece are pricier than the Balkans, so budget more in weeks 1–2 and less in weeks 3–4.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Europe (Germany, Austria, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Greece) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
