Best of Eastern Europe. In my opinion!
I’m a great supporter of European travel, and even more so for Eastern Europe. I mean, you only have to click here or scroll through this link, to experience my love for the continent.
I have always enjoyed travelling to Eastern Europe!
I’ve been going to the region for more than 20 years, but judging by some of the comments that I get, some people think that I spent just 24 hours there, or that I’ve only just passed through!
Some readers think I haven’t the slightest clue.
And some readers even think that I might actually be male, like Queen Elizabeth I!
Having said that.
As much as I love this beautiful continent.
There are some places that simply didn’t tickle my fancy!
Or places that didn’t impress me in the least.
And I won’t apologise for it!
Where is Eastern Europe?
Some people are confused as to what constitutes Eastern Europe, and I regularly get comments from the people who live there and complain that they don’t actually live in Eastern Europe, but Eastern / Central Europe, Central Europe, South-East Europe, and Northern Europe!
But for simplicity’s sake …
Eastern Europe is the Eastern part of the European continent!
Experts say that Eastern Europe is the region that historically has Greek, Byzantine, Eastern Orthodox, Russian, and Ottoman cultural influences.
Others say that Eastern Europe is the region that was created during the Cold War, are the former communist European states outside the Soviet Union, and are (including East Germany, and East Berlin, where I live) otherwise known as the Eastern Bloc!
So in alphabetical order, here’s where I consider to be the best of Eastern Europe!
