There's Never Been a Better Time to Visit Europe:

The European rail system extends from vibrant cities into the quiet countryside connecting travelers from one region to another; making it easier than ever to travel to multiple countries and enjoy all of Europe's best sites and cultures.
Now is the best time to visit Europe.
Europe's Great Lakes and Mountains
Summer holidays don’t have to mean sea and sand.
We pick breaks amid mountains and by tranquil lakes to suit lovers of long hikes, high-energy activity –
or just dreamy upland vistas.
Spotlight: Local culture, Albania

Stay Huts and guesthouses
Suits Seasoned hikers
With some of Europe’s most pristine scenery, ancient pastoral traditions little-altered by modern life, and a title to capture the imagination, Albania’s Accursed mountains make for a wild holiday with an element of time travel.
These peaks, which span the borders of Kosovo, Albaniaand Montenegro, have been easier to explore since 2012, when a hiking route, Peaks of the Balkans, opened to tempt walkers. Meeting mountain folk to learn about their well-preserved culture on visits to isolated villages is a major selling point, and accommodation is in old stone farmhouses where home-cooked meals include bean soup, spinach pie and roast lamb, with oregano tea, sheep’s milk, Turkish coffee or plum raki, depending on the mood. Travel with us to the Peaks of the Balkans trail :
Walking in the Accursed Mountains
“This remote and mysterious mountain range, much of it accessible only by foot, offers more than beauty.
It hosts shepherds and goatherds and ancient pastoral traditions that have yet to be destroyed by mechanisation.
In its isolated villages, traces still survive of a centuries-old code of conduct that combines extremes of punishment and generosity.”― Martin Fletcher the Financial Times: tour run by Balkan Natural Adventure.
