✌⁠ #Kythira is a beautiful #island located on the southern side of Peloponnese. Although Kythira island belongs to the Ionian islands complex, it lies far from the rest of its Ionian neighbors, so it is rather a secluded island. The island’s architecture is strongly influenced by the Venetians, who had ruled the island during the Medieval age. On a hill above Chora, there’s a Medieval Castle, a vestige of the Venetian era, which boasts an incredible view of the Aegean Sea. It is the best spot for sunset gazing!⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @lady_mgp⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #greece #Ελλάδα #greecewonders #ギリシャ #그리스 #希腊 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0A3hXph5re/?igshid=bsdnhnefnq2g

✌⁠ The Prefecture of #Lassithi, #Crete, or Agios Nikolaos as some call it after its capital, covers the eastern part of the island. It is washed by the Cretan Sea in the north, the Carpathian Sea in the east and the Libyan Sea in the south, while its west border is shared with the Heraklion Prefecture. The prefecture is well-known for its interesting archaeological sites, as well as the one-of-a-kind in Europe Palm Tree Forest at Vai beach. Apart from its historical monuments, amazing natural beauty, imposing mountain ranges, impressive gorges, lush fields and dazzling beaches, you will find picturesque villages and friendly, warm-hearted inhabitants. As with the rest of Crete, visiting the inland is a fascinating experience. The combination of environmental beauty and the unique flair of the villages makes the visitor experience strong feelings. The villages, mostly untouched by tourism, maintain their traditional features in terms of architecture and the villagers proudly keep their traditional lifestyle. Here, the visitor may engage in a wide range of cultural activities, where tradition blends with everyday life.⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @ninokopaliani_⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #greece #Ελλάδα #greecewonders #ギリシャ #그리스 #希腊 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0A3e3FhUEn/?igshid=1dxlnsd9r2pb7

✌⁣⁠ With countless green hills, meadows full of flowers and fascinating landscapes that look like they’ve been painted by the most skilled artist, the #Zaovine #village on mt. Tara is precisely that. Who wouldn’t want to be here? It doesn’t take much to come to a conclusion of why the pictures of this small Serbian mountain village travelled across the globe. You simply can’t make a bad photo here. Luscious nature with all its bright colours and interesting mountain houses won’t let you. But, Zaovine are not only famous for their unreal #natural beauty.⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @vinzzz32⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #serbia #srbija #serbiawonders #セルビア #세르비아 #塞尔维亚 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0A3bV6hXBD/?igshid=3fyysyjkq9v2

✌⁠ It is almost untouched, pristine, remote and quiet. Region called #Kučka Krajina or sometimes #Žijovo (the Region of Kuči – a Montenegrin clan) situated north-east of Podgorica the capital of Montenegro, next to the Albanian border, is one of not so known gems of the Montenegrin Dinarids. In fact this is a vast karstic plateau (povrs) from which more groups of summits, single mountain-like summits and #mountains rise.⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @jameslucian⁣⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #montenegro #crnagora #montenegrowonders #モンテネグロ #몬테네그로 #蒙特內哥羅 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0A3YFzBVbd/?igshid=hon8unmrcexk

✌⁠ One of the loveliest towns anywhere along the #Adriatic coast, picturesque #Piran (Pirano in Italian) sits prettily at the tip of a narrow peninsula. Its Old Town – one of the best-preserved historical towns anywhere in the Mediterranean – is a #gem of Venetian Gothic architecture, but it can be a mob scene at the height of summer. In quieter times, it’s hard not to fall instantly in love with the atmospheric winding alleyways, the sunsets and the seafood restaurants.⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @rubenvanvreckem⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #slovenia #slovenija #sloveniawonders #スロベニア #슬로베니아 #斯洛文尼亚 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0A3Rvhhbsr/?igshid=107139o97x4gy

✌⁠ #Vršič #Mountain #Pass with its 1,611m is the highest road pass in the Eastern Julian Alps. The high-mountain road from Kranjska Gora through Vršič to Log in Trenta has 50 serpentines, 24 on the side of Kranjska Gora and 26 on the Trenta side. In Vršič, you can relax and have something to eat or drink in the mountain cabins.Vršič is also the starting point for the Mala Mojstrovka and Jalovec Mountain sand for a very popular (mostly for families) Slemenova Špica Mountain. On the way to Vršič you can see the Russian Chapel, a natural window in the Prisank mountain face and the Heathen Maiden (Ajdovska deklica).⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @jostgantar⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #slovenia #slovenija #sloveniawonders #スロベニア #슬로베니아 #斯洛文尼亚 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0A3OBkBfaN/?igshid=awf1erq5acri

✌⁠ Dubrovnik is the proudest feather in Croatia's tourist cap, an elite destination and one of the most beautiful towns in the #Mediterranean. #Dubrovnik used to be an independent republic, surviving mostly on trade. It managed to survive many centuries, with constant threats to its territory, particularly from the mighty Ottoman Empire and Venice. As early as 19th century, it was discovered by celebrities as a place to be seen. George Bernard Shaw once said that "those who seek #paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik and find it".⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @ronjonsilver__⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #croatia #hrvatska #croatiawonders #クロアチア #크로아티아 #克罗地亚 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4qhZtB3PO/?igshid=13a4q34w7p0j4

✌⁠ Home to a historic old town of Roman ruins, medieval churches, cosmopolitan cafes and quality museums set on a small peninsula, #Zadar is an intriguing city. It’s not too crowded and its two unique attractions – the sound-and-light spectacle of the Sea #Organ and the Sun #Salutation – need to be seen and heard to be believed. While it’s not a picture-postcard kind of place from every angle, the mix of ancient relics, Habsburg elegance and coastal setting all offset the unsightly tower blocks climbing up the hilly hinterland. It's no Dubrovnik, but it's not a museum town either – this is a living, vibrant city, enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. ⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @de_weg_⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #croatia #hrvatska #croatiawonders #クロアチア #크로아티아 #克罗地亚 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4qdwIBowK/?igshid=1lmu82zobfzi7

✌⁠ #Visočica is a #mountain range in central Bosnia and Herzegovina. Geologically, Visočica is part of the Dinaric #Alps and formed largely of secondary and tertiary sedimentary rock, mostly limestone and dolomite. Due to subterranean non-porous geological layers, the typical karst characteristics of the nearby Herzegovina mountains are relatively absent in Visočica, resulting in enough water sources, even at heights around 1500–1700m. Visočica, is an attractive destination for hikers and tour skiers.⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @qrto⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #bosnia #bih #bosniawonders #ボスニア #보스니아 #波斯尼亚 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4qYWzheaA/?igshid=ybjfxcgexi70

✌⁠ Ringed by mountains, #Sarajevo is a singular city with a enticing East-meets-West vibe all of its own. It was once renowned as a religious melting pot, earning it the epithet 'the Jerusalem of Europe'. Within a few blocks you can still find large Catholic and Orthodox cathedrals, Ashkenazi and Sephardic synagogues, and numerous mosques. Sarajevo is a city in which even strangers can feel at #home. Neither geographically expansive nor characterised by large buildings, the city retains a particular, arresting charm with its abundance of busy café's and abiding tradition of hospitality. Although Sarajevo is a capital city typified by the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it also possesses a unique ambience that seeps into the #soul.⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @bez_dan⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #bosnia #bih #bosniawonders #ボスニア #보스니아 #波斯尼亚 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4qU4whEZK/?igshid=1mh72m9x91lo3

✌⁠ Beautiful Bosnia and Hercegovina is most intriguing for its East-meets-West atmosphere born of blended Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian histories filtered through a Southern Slavic lens. Many still associate the country with the heartbreaking war of the 1990s, and the scars from that time are all too visible. But today's visitors are likely to remember the country for its deep, unassuming human warmth, its beautiful mountains, numerous medieval castle ruins, raftable rivers, impressive waterfalls and bargain-value skiing.⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @bez_dan⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #bosnia #bih #bosniawonders #ボスニア #보스니아 #波斯尼亚 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4qLbshqee/?igshid=1dxdumgaq75z1

✌⠀ #BanjaLuka is the second-biggest city in Bosnia and the de facto capital of the Republika #Srpska. After Serbian nationalists systematically destroyed most of the city's historical and cultural heritage – including mosques, Catholic churches, a historical clock tower and various 16th-century buildings – a rather bland, soulless place was left. Encouragingly, two rebuilt religious buildings from different traditions are now the city's biggest drawcards: a captivating reconstructed 16th-century mosque and a magnificent Orthodox cathedral. Banja Luka's lively nightlife is another redeeming feature, as is the close proximity to rafting on the emerald-green Vrbas River, which meanders through the city before disappearing into a lush canyon.⠀ ▫⁣⠀ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @mirkomarkovicphotography⠀ ⁣▫⁣⠀ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⠀ ▫⁣⠀ #BALKANWONDERS #bosnia #bih #bosniawonders #ボスニア #보스니아 #波斯尼亚 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4qIyNBcmA/?igshid=13q91fstrnfql

✌⁠ #Crete is a magical tapestry of splendid beaches, ancient treasures, and landscapes encompassing vibrant cities and dreamy villages, where locals share their traditions, wonderful cuisine and generous spirit. There’s something undeniably artistic in the way the Cretan landscape unfolds, from the sun-drenched #beaches in the north to the rugged canyons spilling out at the cove-carved and cliff-lined southern coast. Crete’s natural beauty is equaled only by the richness of its history. The island is the birthplace of the first advanced society on #European soil, the Minoans, who ruled some 4000 years ago.⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @ninokopaliani_⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #greece #Ελλάδα #greecewonders #ギリシャ #그리스 #希腊 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4qEUWhmV0/?igshid=1qbo9s76ke2ba

✌⁠ Crete Plaka Lassithi: #Plaka is a tiny picturesque village located 16 km north of #Agios Nikolaos town and 5 km from the cosmopolitan resort of Elounda. It is an old fishing village with a few seaside taverns and accommodations. Plaka lies amidst lush green surroundings while it retains its natural beauty. There is a beautiful square where all the locals and tourists gather during the day. Taverns serve delicious food. The village offers access to the opposite islet of Spinalonga, one of the most interesting sightseeings of #Crete. It used to be a former leper colony that was finally abandoned in 1957. Plaka is a lovely destination for your summer holidays and one of the best opportunities to enjoy the natural landscape and some hiking adventures.⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @ninokopaliani_⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #greece #Ελλάδα #greecewonders #ギリシャ #그리스 #希腊 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4qBi4hk3g/?igshid=1hxafethv8x0u

✌⁠ Outspoken, adventurous, proud and audacious: #Belgrade is by no means a 'pretty' capital, but its gritty exuberance makes it one of the most happening cities in #Europe. While it hurtles towards a brighter future, its chaotic past unfolds before your eyes: socialist blocks are squeezed between art nouveau masterpieces, and remnants of the Habsburg legacy contrast with Ottoman relics and Socialist Modernist monoliths. This is where the Sava and Danube rivers kiss, an old-world culture that at once evokes a time-capsuled Communist-era #Yugoslavia and a new-world, EU-contending cradle of cool.⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @belgrade.bucketlist⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #serbia #srbija #serbiawonders #セルビア #세르비아 #塞尔维亚 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4p77PBNoc/?igshid=10xl02q56mqw0

✌⁠ Imagine a crown of stone atop a grassy hill.. Sounds rather impressive, huh? Well it doesn’t only sound impressive – it looks impressive! The Serbian Camelot, called the #Maglič #Fortress, is tucked away safely in the wilderness of central Serbia. Observed from below it looks almost unreachable, like a giant crown of stone atop a huge rock. It is only one of 200 #medieval Serbian cities but it has an undeniable uniqueness to it. This castle survived countless wars and uprisings, and for that it can thank its inaccessibility. And the fog. For you see, interestingly enough, its name means “The Foggy One” from the Serbian word “magla”, meaning fog.⁠ ▫⁣⁠ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @spopovic07⁠ ⁣▫⁣⁠ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⁠ ▫⁣⁠ #BALKANWONDERS #serbia #srbija #serbiawonders #セルビア #세르비아 #塞尔维亚 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4p5S3BSc-/?igshid=pky2inw8mctv

✌⠀ A legend says #Palić was made of tears. No matter what, this fabulous #lake is nowadays one of the most popular destinations in Serbia and the host of a film festival. According to the legend, Palić lake was created from the tears of shepherd Pavle who lost his herd and that is why the water is salty. According to another story, the lake was created from the ancient Pannonian Sea that once bathed the shores of today’s Pannonian Plain. Palić lake is the right place for everyone looking for pleasant holiday on the lake, walks in nature and good entertainment. This is one of the most visited destinations in Serbia, above all, due to its beauty and diverse possibilities for holiday and #relaxation.⠀ ▫⁣⠀ 📸❤ Wonderful photo by @shomister⠀ ⁣▫⁣⠀ 📷 DM your best photo to my personal profile @kwanho365 to get featured ❤⁣⠀ ▫⁣⠀ #BALKANWONDERS #serbia #srbija #serbiawonders #セルビア #세르비아 #塞尔维亚 #vacationmode #travelworld #traveleurope #travelblogger #travelgram #travelislife #beautifulscenery #sceneryshots #traveldiary #inspireme #secretplaces #europetrip #europetravel #travelholic #highlyrecommended #unescoworldheritage #여행스타그램 #여행추억 #여행일기 #여행에미치다 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4p1vFB4TR/?igshid=1tj8yyerhx5j7
