Yetos what about the city of Sahin in Greece I don't know the name for it in Greek but isn't this a highly Turk area. I am not sure how good of a city it is. What is the best cities for Turks in Greece? I also would like to visit Cyprus even if it isn't balkan. I do want to do a tour of the balkans though. Is it easy to travel pretty freely between the countries or no?
to travel 'freely' it depends on the passport you have and the agreements between countries,
but that would not be a problem,
about Sahin I do not know what you mean
most Possible is the land of Pomaks, in Greek Εχινος Ehinos.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echinos
Pomaks is a unique ethnicity/culture
well the preferacture is Xanthi and with Komotene are south of Rodope mountains.
Personally Xanthi old city part is very nice,
and has many festivals in summer
and was the capital of Anatolian Tobacco (basma) plants centuries now
with also Semisous (Samson karadeniz)
If you take that road trip then pass from Alexandroupolis Komotene Xanthi/Ehinos Serres were the old monsk is still standing as museum
and offcourse Thessaloniki ( I live 70 km away come visit me for a Greek coffee :grin:, )
Thessaloniki has many from Ottomans time, included the house of Kemal Attaturk, "(by what i know it was against the road 20 m away)
from there (historically since you are Turk citizen) also pass from the holy city of Vagiazit, Giannitsa
borders are less than 1 hour and go to Skopjie,
from there you can decide among Kossovo or Bosnia and choose your road,
wild life in Dadia Olympos Axios river delta and the Karantere,
karantere is a virgin unigue system protected by international organisations, and you need a license a 'visa' to enter
also can visit the 2 islands on your way, Samothrake and Thasos, and offcourse Chalkidiki
If you go from Bulgaria I suggest Velico Tyrvono, Kazanlak and rose gardens, fields full of roses, and Plovdiv (Phillipopolis)
also if it is easy for you visit Burgas (Pyrgos) Sozopolis Agathopolis,
from Plovdiv decide and go from Blakoevgrad to Kossovo
or from Sofia to Bosnia,
anyway for Bulgaria Skopjie Serbia Kossovo Bosnia Albania there are many members here that can help you.
I do not know about prices in Turkey, Greece is a little bit higher than some other balkan countries
Tahir if you are not a provokative or an assault / insulting Muslim, nobody cares about you,
even jihadists of ISIS pass :grin:
From Greece every year pass more than 3 million Turks from West Europe to go to Turkey
and from Serbia Bulgaria also other 3-4 millions,
nobody cares,
except the drivers , cause we understand Turks by the way they drive,
they go like caravan 3-9 cars and do not allow someone to pass front or among them, with high risk for accident.
