With its mountain crags and ravines, and numerous hiking clubs, this small country offers much for those who love the outdoors and crave new adventures.
This first-ever travel guide offers insider tips on a country just waiting to be rediscovered. Explore tectonic lakes and ancient ruins, outdoor nightclubs and the country's new wine scene. Above all, bask in the hospitable welcome of a diverse people.
Inside you'll find: Where to stay: mountain hut, monastery, family hotel or a flavor of old communism; where to eat and drink: movie set, salsa bar, village home or royal vineyard; ecotourism, national parks, trekking, paragliding and skiing; detailed historical, political, cultural and security information; unique maps and town plans.
