Southern Europe: Croatia, Montenegro, Albania & Greece

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Stretching along the eastern Adriatic and into the Aegean, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, and Greece together form one of the most scenic and historically rich corridors in Southern Europe. Croatia draws visitors with its dramatic Dalmatian coastline, walled old towns like Dubrovnik and Split, and island-hopping across the Adriatic. Montenegro offers rugged mountain landscapes, fjord-like Bay of Kotor, and a compact but stunning coastline, while Albania remains one of the region's most underexplored gems, known for its Riviera beaches, Ottoman-era heritage, and raw natural beauty. Greece anchors the route with its iconic ancient ruins, whitewashed Cycladic islands, world-class sailing, and vibrant food and nightlife culture.

Self-Launched: Dubrovnik to Athens — Croatia, Montenegro, Albania & Ancient Greece

A 12-day self-launched version of G Adventures' Roamies hostel-based run from Dubrovnik to Athens. You'll trace the Adriatic coast from Dubrovnik through Kotor Bay, cross into Albania for Lake Skadar and Tirana, ferry out to Corfu for island time, then hop through mainland Greece for the cliff-top monasteries of Meteora, the ruins of Delphi and a finish under the Acropolis. Instead of a private vehicle and CEO, you'll ride intercity buses, the Saranda–Corfu ferry and Greek regional trains, and book the same highlights (Blue Cave boat trips, Delphi ticket, Meteora monasteries) via GetYourGuide, Klook or direct. Hostels throughout keep you near the crowd you'd get on a group tour, at a fraction of the price. All costs are rough backpacker estimates in GBP and exclude international flights.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Southern Europe: 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."
