I'd like to travel this august, probably at least for one month.
I've already been to Scandinavia, Baltics, Poland, and few more, but still haven't been to Ukraine, Russia, Romania, and the Balkans, and I know on August temperatures would be convenient, so theses places are on my mind.
What would be a good route? I was thinking to see Kiev and Odessa, and then somehow get to the Balkans, but it doesn't seem like there are any good direct cheap flight.
Perhaps Kiev-Odessa-Bucharest-Belgrade-Montenegro-Dubrovnik-Split-Zagreb? With about 4 days in each, unless I get thrilled and decide to stay longer.
Is it possible and comfortable to do it by bus/trains?
I'm especially not sure about a good route from Odessa or Kiev to Bucharest.
Also, is there anything that isn't worthwhile visiting, or anything around these places that I'm missing from my list? maybe something more second tier?
Would there be something to do there in middle of the week? I know for a fact that in many cities in Europe, even on August, venues may be totally empty in mid-week.
I know Russian on an average level, so Ukraine game will probably be easier, but it doesn't sounds too interesting to see, as opposed to beach cities in the Balkan area, and also, I almost never met any Balkan girls and am kinda curious.
