Buses in the Balkans
I'm currently planning a trip through the Balkans, flying back home at the end of it from Dubrovnik. I've found good resources for pretty much everything, however, information (in English, at least) is tricky to come across.
My ideal itinerary is as follows (a night or two in each of the intermediate stops):
- Pristina
- Shkoder
- Kotor
- Dubrovnik
Rome2Rio makes some "interesting" suggestions, but there are lots of 13 hour, multi-country routes between cities that appear to be 2-4 hours drive from one another.
Does anyone know if there are better, local options (equivalent to marshrutki maybe?)?
Best Answer
BusTicket4.me will cover what you need for the routes that involve at least one city in Montenegro.
I'm not aware of any online search options for Pristina - Shkoder, but you'll find several forums with info of varying recency if you google the route.
