We are all familiar with the beautiful continent of Europe, mesmerizing us with everything it has to offer: from its rich history and interesting geography, economy and politics. However, digging in deeper in the Southeastern part, we find the Balkan Peninsula, a group of countries mostly brought together by fate, but beholding different nations and cultures as no other region of Europe.
The countries that make up the Balkans today are Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and the European part of Turkey.
