The Balkans have played host to the world’s cutest traveling teddy bear! The Balkans are a geographically and culturally diverse peninsula in Southeast Europe, bordered by the Adriatic, Ionian, and Black Seas. The region typically includes Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Greece, and parts of Turkey. Known for mountainous terrain (including the Dinaric Alps and Balkan Mountains), a complex history of Ottoman and Habsburg rule, and a mix of cultures, it is popular for its rich cuisine, historic cities, and scenic nature.
