There are a lot of different threads comparing the Balcans and Baltics. We all know that the islands in Croatia will be crowded with tourists eager to bang a cute model-looking easter european chick. I´ve doing some research on where to spend 18 days in August. A) helsink - tallin - parnu - riga - vilnius; or B) Skopje - Ohrid - Budva - Kotor (maybe croatia?).
From my point of view - and I am south american - it should be better to deal with drunken russian skinheads than having to bear posers and hords of male tourists in the "cool" islands of Croatia. I am aware that all places listed above are famous destinations and I i´m not naive to think Ill have them all to myself!!!
Well, that said, where should be a better choice for travelling solo, the balkans or the baltics? (main factors: concentration of posers; quality and accessibility of girls; beauty of the city itself)

I don't know too much about Ohrid, but I remember a previous post where someone was saying the nightlife is pretty decent. I wouldn't go because I know the Macedonians are pretty conservative, also I want to avoid scummy Albanians.

Kotor is a beautiful place, bit not somewhere to Chase girls. It's just a small albeit beautifully situated town.

I would say go to Croatia, there will be enough tarts to go round. Or go to Baltics.

You need alpha game in Balkans, not sure about Baltics

"I want to avoid scummy Albanians." haha I wonder why they have this reputation!

Croacia/Montenegro seens like a good plan. And theres the possibility to scuba dive there.

Ryan Air flys to the baltics from Rome, thats where my flight arrives. Ill check that out for good deals.
