Have you ever thought of making Albania your next road trip destination? Head into the capital Tirana to explore Skanderbeg Square or learn about Albania's rich past at the National Historic Museum. From Tirana, drive along the Saranda coastal road with its spectacular beaches and breathtaking views. Head into the Ceraunian Mountains to explore the castles and woodlands or go inland to visit the city of Fier and the ruins of the town of Apollonia.

Or - if you really want to get away from the mainstream tourist hotspots, how about Serbia - Belgrade, the capital and largest city of Serbia, is steeped in history. The mild climate can be rainy during spring and moderately warm during the summer, so if you aren't a sun worshipper Belgrade may just be the place for you – a historically rich city with warm (not hot) weather.
