C\u00e2nd ne planificam o vacan\u021b\u0103, visam doar la Turcia, Egipt sau Spania. Dar ast\u0103zi, tot mai mul\u021bi rom\u00e2ni aleg Balcanii – nu din cauza costurilor, ci din curiozitate. La urma urmei, c\u00e2teva ore de mers cu ma\u0219ina de la Craiova sau Constan\u021ba deschid o lume complet diferit\u0103: Bulgaria, Serbia, Muntenegru, Albania.
\nBulgaria este cel mai u\u0219or loc de \u00eenceput. Este la trei ore de mers cu ma\u0219ina de la Drobeta-Turnu Severin p\u00e2n\u0103 la Sofia. Acolo ve\u021bi g\u0103si izvoarele termale din Bansko, m\u0103n\u0103stiri antice, vinuri din Valea Struma \u0219i sta\u021biuni de schi mai ieftine dec\u00e2t Poiana Bra\u0219ov.
\nSerbia este pentru cei care iubesc energia urban\u0103. Belgradul este un amestec de Est \u0219i Vest, cu cluburi de jazz \u00een crame, o fort\u0103rea\u021b\u0103 pe Dun\u0103re \u0219i cele mai bune baruri cu gr\u0103tar de pe continent. Iar Novi Sad este o capital\u0103 cultural\u0103 cu festivaluri \u0219i cafenele confortabile pe malul Dun\u0103rii. Muntenegru este perla Adriaticii. Da, Budva \u0219i Sveti Stefan sunt aglomerate de turi\u0219ti, dar dac\u0103 te \u00eendrep\u021bi spre interior, vei g\u0103si sate precum Cetinje sau Lacul Skadar, unde pelicanii \u00eenoat\u0103, iar apa pare tropical\u0103.<\/p>\n
Iar Albania este o adev\u0103rat\u0103 surpriz\u0103. Plajele de-a lungul Rivierei (Saranda, Ksamil) sunt la fel de bune ca cele din Grecia, dar la jum\u0103tate de pre\u021b. Iar mun\u021bii din partea de nord sunt ideali pentru drume\u021bii \u0219i \u00eent\u00e2lniri cu p\u0103stori care \u00eenc\u0103 tr\u0103iesc dup\u0103 obiceiuri str\u0103vechi.<\/p>\n
Principalul avantaj este c\u0103l\u0103toria f\u0103r\u0103 viz\u0103. Toate aceste \u021b\u0103ri sunt deschise rom\u00e2nilor. \u00cen plus, au r\u0103d\u0103cini comune: cre\u0219tinismul ortodox, limbile slave (par\u021bial) \u0219i o buc\u0103t\u0103rie similar\u0103. \u00cen Bulgaria, te vor \u00een\u021belege chiar \u0219i dac\u0103 vorbe\u0219ti rom\u00e2ne\u0219te!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Noi, rom\u00e2nii, ne-am sim\u021bit mult timp \u201ela grani\u021ba Europei\u201d. Dar Balcanii ne amintesc: suntem inima ei. \u0218i c\u00e2nd c\u0103l\u0103torim \u00een \u021b\u0103rile vecine, nu ne pierdem pe noi \u00een\u0219ine – g\u0103sim un teren comun.<\/p>\n
\u0218i astfel de c\u0103l\u0103torii ne \u00eenva\u021b\u0103 \u0219i umilin\u021ba. V\u0103z\u00e2nd cum tr\u0103iesc oamenii \u00een satele de munte din Albania sau \u00een podgoriile bulg\u0103re\u0219ti, \u00eencepi s\u0103 apreciezi lucrurile simple: p\u00e2inea, apa, o vorb\u0103 bun\u0103.<\/p>\n
Balcanii nu sunt \u201eEuropa de m\u00e2na a doua\u201d. Este sufletul lor – pasional, complex \u0219i viu. Nu exist\u0103 fa\u021bade perfecte aici, dar exist\u0103 sinceritate.<\/p>\n
A\u0219a c\u0103 data viitoare c\u00e2nd vrei s\u0103 \u201emergi undeva\u201d, nu te uita la \u021b\u0103ri \u00eendep\u0103rtate. Caut\u0103 \u00een apropiere. Pentru c\u0103 cele mai bune c\u0103l\u0103torii nu sunt cele mai \u00eendep\u0103rtate, ci cele care te schimb\u0103. Iar Balcanii \u0219tiu cum s\u0103 fac\u0103 asta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
