A historical "road-movie" (& great party) through the millennia of Belgrade, Danube & Serbia, to a Greek island beach

A quick, guided tour through Belgrade and Serbia's millennia of culture (and destruction) with a party loving historian. Explore Belgrade and then the right bank of Danube, with Neolithic, Roman, Byzantine, Turkish, Austro-Hungarian, communist and contemporary architecture, while we enjoy the many hidden gems of the city, party, eat well and relax. We will spend 4 nights in Belgrade, located in the Old Town, surrounded by nice street-cafes and close to everything! (as shown here on the first pic of Belgrade). We will visit Nikola Tesla's museum and his place of rest - the inventor of so many devises that we today wouldn't live without. Like the two-ways electricity power, the remote control, radio-transmitters and much more. The tours in the museum are guided, and you can, actually, experience electricity experiments going through your body, if you like! We will also swim in the Ada-lake with party-beaches. As well as Lido, the only Belgrade-beach on the Danube. The current there is fast and very strong! But it’s safe because of silk-soft sand (and because you won’t go too far if you wish to keep living :) The rest of the time, we can drink and eat in places that you must be a local to know. We will certainly also do a night or two in the crazy nightlife of Belgrade! I have done these tours for many years, and they are very popular. Different every time. 😃 It’s a lot of hi-story but a lot of breaks too, and I love to tell really interesting stories about European history that include all genders, sexual orientations, and some dirty (world) political "secrets". 🫣 After Belgrade, we will head off by the Danube to Smederevo - the last medieval stone-city ever built (in 1430). It has a royal residence that looks like a Disney-castle, and still has small toilettes in the walls! (I did a Sci.thesis in history about this place and the couple who built it and it is very intriguing).🤩 I’d want to rent a house close to it, preferably with a pool - to relax for a day in the nature, overlooking the Danube, Europe's largest and oldest river that has hosted all of its big cultures. The clean air and nature are intense there. Good grounding. Following the Danube further south by a rented car, we will visit the Neolithic site Lepenski Vir, around 8000 years old! It has just got a new museum, which I would love to see myself. Just an hour further down the road is the Roman city of Viminacium, found under the corn-fields at the beginning of 2000s. It holds an unusual mix of Romans and early Christians side by side, and the tour last about 1,5 hour. This site is just next to the town of Pozharevac, where the grave of the "most hated" Serb of the latest century - Slobodan Milosevic - is placed in the garden of his parent's family's house. If we're lucky, we can get into the mini-museum of Pozarevac, where they've "hidden" quite some treasuries from Viminacium! But, we need to be "Sherlock Holmes" to get in there. Thought - we can try! In any case, we will find a cooled garden and eat & drink Balkan-style! We can also skip Pozarevac completely and drive to a wonderful lake called Silver Lake? There we can rent a simple accommodation and swim and cool for a day. There is much more medieval, Byzantine-Serbian, as well as Roman and Turkish architecture to see on this route. There are marvellous medieval monasteries, big and small, 800-600 years old. Slightly hidden, but fully approachable by car. Especially Manasija from the 1420s, tall and beautiful, with a walled fortress around and nuns still living in it. They are keeping a lush colourful garden inside. It is perfectly on our route and takes an hour to be in there at most. I have seen them all! And would love to see them again - so I am open for your wishes. 🦋 It all depends on how fast we move. Or rather, how long we stay at each stop. I think we can avoid stress and enjoy what we manage. Or we can rent a boat for a part of the trip? Otherwise, this journey is planned to be done by a rented, large car. Going from Belgrade airport to Nish airport. Serbia is, actually, relatively small and much can be done in a couple of days. On the other hand, if we use the fast new highways, we will miss out on everything! All these gems are located on some super-old (prehistoric, or Roman roads, with a layer of medieval stones - and asphalt atop of it - from various times and regimes. Those roads are not straight and - not fast. But very charming. We can either rent a driver, or we can drive ourselves (I don’t drive :) All this details are open for discussion and I’d be happy to hear your desires beforehand. Please feel free to say what you would prefer - and let’s be creative. But, by the time we leave, we will have a clear plan. I know exactly where we are going, so it just depends on us how many small stops we make. 🔆 We are finally heading down to the town of Nish, where Constantine the Great was born. There we have an AIRPORT from which Ryanair is doing flights to Corfu in the Ionian Sea in Greece. Nish was used to be called Naissus in Roman times and was a very important crossroad between Rome and Constantinople. Today it is the 3rd largest city of Serbia. I don't know the place myself, but I know that many southern Serbs adore it - so we can explore! A night sleep is planned in Nish. I'd then love to spend some days lying down on a Greek beach - and from Corfu there are flights to, basically, all mayor cities in Europe. From there, you can certainly find a plane back home or wherever you'd like to connect to further. I have planned 3 days for the last stop on this Greek island, and everyone can leave when they wish. 😊 Just let me know in advance, so that I can do a correct booking. I'd love to stay a couple of days more after this Trip - and you are welcome to stay as long you want. And then I'll head back to Gothenburg, where I now live. 🇸🇪
