Serbian landscape is full of wheat fields. Close to the railway lines there are enterprises selling second hand cars and cars’ spares. The villages and the people look poor. Energy areas one can see not only in Serbia but also in Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey and Greece.
Vegetable gardens are common in Serbia and Bulgaria. Religious buildings there are in any Balkan country and more specific: Mosques in FYROM and Turkey, Orthodox Christian Churches in Serbia and Greece. Also is interesting the new colourful buildings that create new cities close to Istanbul Turkey.
In my third trip I will focus on the people. Now I know that is difficult to define what is Balkan. So from now on, my main aim is to find what routes the passengers use to get to their destination. Some of them use interail train ticket or Balkan Flexipass train ticket. For this reason now I am interesting more to see from where these people are coming and where they are going. From my last trip to Istanbul from Belgrade I realised that a lot of Romania people use Balkan Flexipass train ticket. The Greek rail company replied to me that this ticket has established in 01 01 1997 and since 2007 the leader country was Greece but from 2008 leader is Romania. In this trird attempt I will follow this route: Thessaloniki – Bucharest – Istanbul – Thessaloniki .
