Honestly, comparing San Diego with a city that for centuries was one of the most important cities in the world is quite… strange to say the least.

Budapest is not Balkans. I would suggest Athens.
Nymfaio, one of Greece's many winter wonders. It's located in Western Macedonia, in the far north of Greece. Completely surrounded by forest, it's home to bear and wolf sanctuaries. It receives one of the greatest snowfalls in the country. What do you think?

[NQM] Metsovo, the largest Aromanian settlement in the Balkans. It's regarded today as the de facto capital of the Aromanians, and one of the most important winter destinations in Greece.

Historical sources. If you read the sources of that time you will see how foreign travelers described them. I guess you simply need to do more reading to be able to draw proper conclusions.

Take a look at literally any source from the 18th and 19h century. The main issue of the Montenegrin society was the lack of arable land and grave conditions in which people were living, i.e. not having what to eat (we are talking about the period prior to them getting Boka Kotorska and some other cities, which happened later).

This could have been a good explanation if the Montenegrins were not descendants of the people living in the poorest areas with the least arable land, yet being tallest since centuries ago.

Albania has experienced a sharp decline in tourism in 2025, with 30% less tourists visiting the country this summer compared to summer 2024. Are Croatia, Montenegro & Bulgaria experiencing a similar decline in tourists or is the industry still going strong there?

In my experience, Halkidiki is always more expensive than islands such as Thasos, Skopelos, Kefalonia, etc. Just go to places where Greek people go and prices will be ok. This year I went to Pelion and had a blast, prices were reasonable.
