mgain Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 thinking of going to greece next year,years ago when i was a lorry driver we used to go via austria,then zagreb,then belgrade,then nis,and down to skpje,and into greece that way, does any body know if it is safe to go this way after the troubles out there, and has anybody been down this road in the last year or so,i would like to drive the route rather than get a ferry.

hallii Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 We are going via Romania/Bulgaria in Aug/Sept 2013, so it's Belgium, Germany, Austria,Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria then the top end of Greece. Might do a bit of Turkey on the way back, but then we might just get "waylaid" on the way down and stay somewhere for so long we don't make it. Romania looks interesting, we will do as we always do, just take each day as it comes. About 2,000 miles. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounty hunter Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hi, we went to Greece in Jan this year taking ferry from Ancona to Patras stayin in Greece till late March. We then went down into Turkey before travelling back overland via Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Holland, France. We used this site http://www.magbaztravels.com/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/ which has loads of info. If you need any more info PM and i will respond.

Addie Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I can certainly recommend the Romania / Bulgaria route - we did it in 2011. We spent 10 weeks in Greece and only stayed on campsites for 2 nights (Athens and Washing!) Our blog of our travels is here: www.europebycamper.com All the best :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilux Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 We have tried Ancona to Patras, but we found the best route was Venice to Patras. The route out of Venice is spectacular. As you might know you can sleep in the camper on deck. Great fun. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
