Bons plans et itinéraire en Europe de l'est
Salut à tous.
Début juillet, je vais voyager en europe avec des copains. Pour nous tous, ce sera le premier voyage à l'étranger sans nos parents. 😊 D'où ma demande d'informations. 😉
Déjà, on compte prendre un pass Inter Rail de 16 jours qui nous permettrait de visiter la République Tchèque, la Slovaquie, la Hongrie et la Croatie.
Premier point : les auberges de jeunesse. On a repéré quelques trucs sympas sur ce site : www.hostelworld.com, mais on se demande si on doit réserver ou si c'est jouable d'arriver, par exemple, à Prague et de trouver un endroit pas cher (10-15€) où dormir (avec le guide des auberges).
Deuxième point : les villes à visiter. On a décidé de faire simple avec : Tchéquie : Prague Slovaquie : Bratislava Hongrie : Budapest Croatie : Zagreb, Split, 1 ou 2 îles. Y a-t-il, selon vous, d'autres choses à voir ABSOLUMENT dans ces 3 pays, sachant qu'on ne voyage que 16 jours ?
Troisième point : le retour. On sera en Croatie à la fin de notre voyage et on aimerait bien rentrer chez nous. On a cru comprendre que les 2 principales solutions (sachant qu'aucun de notre groupe n'a le permis) sont le train et le car. Seulement, on sait pas comment s'y prendre pour réserver le retour (Zagreb - Paris ou Split - Paris) d'ici.
Merci.
PS : Si certains ont déjà voyagé avec Inter Rail, merci de dire ce qu'ils en ont pensé.

France-Bulgarie en voiture
Bonjour,
Qui est allé récemment en voiture ou en car en Bulgarie ?
Je voudrais savoir quel itinéraire imprunter en partant de Paris, et notamment s'il est préférable de passer par la Roumanie, ou la Yougoslavie ?
Même question si on part du Sud de la France: est-ce que la liaison est facile en passant par la Croatie ?
Merci de vos expériences.

Europe de l'Est en 3 ou 4 semaines
Je compte partir en voiture au départ de Perpignan vers la Suisse (Lausanne, Neufchâtel, Berne, Lucerne Zurich) puis l'Autriche (Vienne) jusqu'à Prague en Rép. Tchèque, puis Slovaquie, Hongrie, Slovénie avec peut-être un petit crochet sur la Croatie puis l'Italie (Milan, Turin...?).
Alors, suis-je tout-à-fait inconsciente ou est-ce bien réalisable en 3-4 semaines ?!?
Sachant que je pars avec ma fille de 19 ans, ce qui veut dire que nous sommes 2 filles et que je redoute les routes sinueuses ou longeant le vide...
A moins que ce soit facile et pas cher en train vu que c'est un moyen de transport que j'utilise énormément...
Pour se faire comprendre, l'anglais suffit ou il vaut mieux avoir des notions d'allemand ou autre ?
Pour manger et dormir, connaissez-vous des astuces, des lieux ? On parle beaucoup de chambre chez l'habitant (les zimmers) Est-ce vraiment le mieux, et le moins cher bien sûr rapport qualité prix ?
Est-il préférable de tout organiser et réserver maintenant ou ça peut se faire au fur et à mesure vu que c'est en juin et y a-t-il des papiers à prévoir ou vaccins ou autre ?
Pour payer, la carte bleue visa est-elle suffisante pour tous ces pays et quelle est la monnaie de ceux qui ne sont pas à l'euro ?
J'ai vraiment besoin de conseils, alors merci beaucoup si vous pouvez m'aider !
à bientôt
Interrail pour Pologne-Hongrie-Tchéquie
Bonjour à tous,
Durant le mois d'avril, je pense aller avec un ami visiter les pays d'europe de l'est en train avec Interrail pendant 10 jours environ.
On va se concentrer sur la zone D (pologne, hongrie, tchéquie, croatie, slovaquie).
Quelqu'un a déjà fait un voyage de ce type ? Qu'en avez-vous pensé ? En 10 jours on peut faire combien de villes ?
Nous aimerions avoir des informations de voyageurs sur la fiabilité des trains dans ces pays. Il paraît qu'en pologne c'est pas mal mais dans les autres pays je n'en sais rien.
N'hésitez pas à nous donner des infos si vous avez voyagé dans l'un de ces pays.
Merci et bonne journée !

L'Albanie en voiture
Salut. Je prépare un voyage d'un an autour de la Méditerrannée. Départ été 2004, en voiture avec une amie.
En principe on devrait traverser l'Albanie en arrivant de Grèce pour ressortir par la Croatie. A votre avis est-il prudent de se déplacer en voiture en Albanie, en longeant la côte ? 🏴☠️
Quelqu'un peut-il m'indiquer des endroits intéressants et/ou sympas le long de la côte ?
Merci. Julie.

Road and sightseeing questions for a 60-day van trip in Albania
hi,
I’m planning a trip to Albania in a camper van, most likely between May, June, and early July (2027), for about 60 days. On the way down, I’ll go as far as Bari (or Brindisi) and cross by ferry, and on the way back, I’ll go through the former Yugoslavia (or maybe take the return ferry?).
Has anyone been there recently? What are the roads like, the must-see spots, and any general tips you can share?
There’ll probably be two of us traveling together.
Thanks
Nisyros: Greece’s most beautiful island?
Hi everyone,
I hesitated for a long time before publishing this travel journal since it’s been 8 months now since I left Nisyros. But in the end, I found it too beautiful to keep quiet about. So here we go—I finally got around to writing it. Nisyros is a stunning little Greek island, and luckily, it’s well hidden. Located a good twenty hours by boat from Athens, its distance from the Greek mainland deters most tourists from visiting. That’s what makes it an off-the-beaten-path destination. So much for the general info.

Before diving into the details, I should mention that I visited by bike (despite its severe and constant volcanic elevation) as part of a solo trip from France to Turkey. Why this detail? Because out of the ten countries I crossed and the dozens of sites I saw, Nisyros is one of my top three favorites (along with Pag Island, off-season, in Croatia, and Albania for its overall beauty—stunning natural landscapes and the incredible hospitality of its people). Anyway, welcome to this travel journal dedicated to the lovely little volcanic island of Nisyros…

I arrived one beautiful morning in Mandraki, the island’s main port. The twenty-hour boat ride from Athens went by like a breeze. I slept on the deck for three or four hours, sprawled on a bench that was more or less sheltered from the wind. At this time of year (it’s May 2nd), tourists aren’t exactly flocking here, so the boat was far from full. My first glimpse of Nisyros is classic Greek island scenery: blazing sun, an azure sky, and an even deeper blue sea. The trip is off to a great start. I quickly found a small, out-of-the-way hotel (I’m one of those people who avoids crowds as much as possible when traveling, which is getting harder and harder to do). While everyone else from the boat turned right out of the port toward the center of Mandraki, I went left! My nice little hotel was just a hundred meters away, facing a pretty little Orthodox church whose red color contrasted beautifully with the deep blue sea.

I dropped off my panniers in my room so I could ride light for once, then headed toward the next village: Pali. It’s a small fishing village that apparently comes to life a bit in the summer with a few tourists.

As I pedaled along the dock, I passed right by a guy sitting in a chair in full sun. Unfazed despite the sweat pouring down his forehead, he untangled his fishing net with a precision that commanded respect. I gave him the obligatory kalimera (good morning), but he reacted like a deaf-mute—no response at all. On the other hand, his employee answered me kindly from the trawler docked right next to him. Standing on deck, he was also untangling a mess of nets and invited me aboard to chat. That’s Mohamed.

Communication wasn’t easy since he only spoke Greek and I didn’t, but he was cheerful, and his joy was contagious. He proudly showed off their catch of the day: two beautiful rays and a few brightly colored fish. We chatted like that for about fifteen minutes.

When it was time to hit the road again, I said goodbye to Mohamed, who smiled back. But this time, his boss—still dripping sweat in his chair under the scorching sun—greeted me too. Turns out he wasn’t deaf or mute after all.

I continued along the coast since that’s where most of Nisyros’ beaches are. They start lining up just outside Pali. These are black sand beaches, which can’t hide their volcanic origins.

Yesterday afternoon in Athens, I met Peter and Michelle, a Dutch-French couple, while we were waiting for the ferry to depart. The Greek sailors were on strike, so we ended up waiting about twelve hours before setting off. Anyway, we had plenty of time to chat, and Peter, who’s lived on Tilos—a small island near Nisyros—for about twenty years, told me that many migrants pass through these two islands. Most come from Afghanistan and Syria, fleeing authoritarian regimes and the massacres that come with them. They’re looking for *anywhere* else where the future can’t possibly be worse. Peter explained that you often find their belongings on the local beaches. And sure enough, I didn’t have to look far to spot some—clothes, life jackets…

I glanced around, hoping to see one of them to maybe exchange a few words, but no—no one. I was completely alone.

I got back on my bike and spent the rest of the day wandering aimlessly, just exploring this beautiful part of Nisyros. I also picked up some supplies because tomorrow, I’d be heading inland for two days, deep into its four-kilometer-wide caldera to explore the volcano. I’d be sleeping in a tent, so I needed to stock up on food. After a restful night in a real bed—something rare on this bike trip (and I won’t even mention the shower…)—I finally set off for the volcano (I’ll share details about that charming little hotel with the amazing breakfasts at the end of the journal). To reach Stefanos (the name of the main crater), I had to climb to the top of the caldera. It was hot, and some of the slopes were between 10 and 15%, which is steep, especially with a 54 kg bike. But who cares? I was admiring the scenery, and I have to say, I was surprised by how green it was. The higher I climbed, the more beautiful the vegetation became. It stood out against the blue of the sea, and the landscapes inside the island were truly stunning. So, I stopped every five minutes to take photos. Every now and then, I’d come across cows in the middle of the road—or goats in the trees! They climbed with the agility of monkeys to munch on the leaves. I couldn’t get a photo of them because they’d all scatter before I got close. It was actually the noise they made climbing down that tipped me off to their presence. Two villages sit at the top of the caldera: Emporios and Nikia. I passed the first one without climbing up to it, then continued to the second. And let me tell you, Nikia was love at first sight! I found myself pedaling through tiny streets, some barely wider than my bike with its panniers. The walls were white, and the doors were painted in all sorts of colors—green, blue, red… The streets were empty, and silence reigned. But it wasn’t a dead silence. It was more like the kind you find in small, secret, peaceful places. The village exuded tranquility, calm, and well-being. I leaned my bike—with all its gear—against a wall without locking it. It was the first time on this trip that I’d done that. Sure, its weight made it more like a tank than a bike, so you’d have to be *really* motivated to steal it, but here, for some reason, I felt completely at ease. Maybe it wasn’t the smartest move, but I go a lot by instinct, and here, it felt right. So I left my bike there and went to eat a little farther away, at a small restaurant on the village’s main square. It’s famous all over Greece for the beautiful mosaic that covers and decorates the floor. Once I’d eaten and drunk my fill, I hopped back on my bike, which had waited patiently without running off. And the best part? After riding uphill all morning to reach the top of the caldera, all I had to do now was coast downhill to the volcano. Pure bliss in such breathtaking scenery.

Preparing for France to Nepal by Bike
I have 5 months left to prepare for the most ambitious project of my life...
In 5 months, I’ll hit the road, heading to Nepal. Not by plane. Not by train. But by bike.
13,000 km, 18 countries crossed. Powered only by my legs, my will, and a dream.
This journey isn’t just a physical challenge. It’s:
🌍 A human and cultural adventure, meeting locals, landscapes, and traditions. 🌱 A meaningful project: discussing climate change and, above all, listening to those who experience it daily. 🔥 An inner quest, to push my limits and inspire others to step out of their comfort zones. A message of hope for self-discovery.
I have 20 weeks left to: ✅ Finalize my route ✅ Gather the budget and equipment ✅ Sort out the logistics ✅ And most importantly… find committed sponsors to bring this adventure to life.
Any help is welcome!

Travel companion for a world cycling tour in 2028
Hi everyone,
I’m planning a round-the-world cycling trip and I’m looking for a travel companion. I’m aiming to set off in 2028 (so we’ve got time to get to know each other). The philosophy behind this long-term journey—spanning several years (at least 3)—is camping and as much self-sufficiency as possible. For me, this’ll be the last trip I take (I’ll be 67 and finally retired). As a result, I plan to visit a ton of places.
If you’re interested, more info by email.
Young man from northern France looking for travel companions
Hi there, I’m Rémi. I live in the north of France in Amiens and I’m 29.
I’m looking for a travel buddy (guy or girl) to head off this summer—August or September.
Preferably somewhere in Europe.
I’m more into beaches, sightseeing, and partying 🍻.
Easy-going with good manners. I love cheerful people.
Preferably someone better at English than I am.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Which company has air-conditioned buses in Kerala?
Hi there,
I’m heading to Kerala in December. I’ve been searching without luck for air-conditioned buses, minivans—basically anything that’s not a bus without AC or windows, since my route from Cochin to Munnar is gonna be a long one and I don’t wanna struggle.
I checked around, and it’s crazy—you can’t find the name of a single private company, just overpriced transfers!
From what I can tell, it seems like there’s nothing but local buses… yet I went to Sri Lanka two years ago and there were plenty of options.
Thanks in advance for any tips! Caroline

From Mostar to Clermont-Ferrand: 3-day, 2-night road trip ideas (by car)
Hi there,
My summer trip between France and Montenegro is pretty much set.
Now I just need to plan the return route from Mostar.
On the way there, I took the Mont Blanc Tunnel, drove through Italy to Trieste, a small part of Slovenia, and then the Croatian coast.
For the return trip, I’d like to mix things up and avoid the Croatian coast.
So far, I’m thinking of stopping in Rastoke, Croatia, and then Milan, Italy.
Any other suggestions?

For the return trip, I’d like to mix things up and avoid the Croatian coast.
So far, I’m thinking of stopping in Rastoke, Croatia, and then Milan, Italy.
Any other suggestions?
