Eastern Europe & the Caucasus

hello,
I understand that US citizens do not need a visa for Georgia for stays up to 90 days. For a double entry visa, (I want to go to Armenia) do I need to make an application? I ask because on the application I need to write an inviting person or organisation. Should I make this up as there is no need for any proof of being invited?

thanks,
cats

Dear travellers.

I am planning a trip to Croatia this coming summer but I would like to hear your opinions (and recommendations) on my itinerary.

I am going to be spending ten days in that country, arriving at Zagreb where I would spend one or two days. I heard its a wonderful capital city but with two days, I would have enough to get a general idea of the city, right? Maybe Sljeme on a side trip? I would be renting a car in Zagreb and my final destination would be the Southern city of Duvrovnik…

Hi there. I'm planning a week's travel and have a rough itinerary already in my mind.

I want to fly to Budapest and explore the city for a couple of days. After this I'd like to travel to Belgrade stay for a couple of days and also visit Novi Sad. I have the following questions:

1) What is the best mode of transport to get from Budapest to Belgrade? How long does it take?
2) What is the Hungary-Serbia border like to travel through overland?
3) What is there to do in Belgrade?
4) How easy is it to…

Does anyone have a good recipe to make a good tahinli helva at home. Any of these maybe?

If anyone knows how to make (or knows a site with good recipes) lokum I'd appreciate it as well. Or gözleme, börek, etc (I spotted Bosnian yufka in the local supermarket). Of course I can find plenty of them online, but I don't feel like experimenting, so I'd prefer something tested

Hi folks,
I was looking at the ferry timetable from Rijeka to Dubrovnik and I must say I like the idea of it. However, there is no available information about the price of this overnight trip. Can anyone from the area or anyone who has been on this trip tell me the prices, or even if it's worth taking?
Thanks,
Seán.

Hi,

I've had a good look through this forum and found some very good information.
But.... I would also like some more personal opinions.

Myself and my bf are flying into Pula, renting a car and spending a week driving down the coast to Dubrovnik where we will fly out.
Unfortunately we only have a week so I'd love to know the 'must see places'.

We are travelling at the end of May so will the weather be nice at that time?
What will driving be like ie. road conditions, other drivers? (what side of the…

I know this is a bit of a long shot, but is anyone here familiar with the city of Kutahya? I'm particularly interested in the relative locations of the bus station, train station and city center. Even a crude city map available online would be awesome. General comments about the city and nearby ruins too. Thank you!

Please, recommend the place to see the performance, not too touristy, if this is applicable anyway

Hello!
I do not speak polish but thought I found a bargain on http://www.pkp.pl/node/455<BR>Could anyone tell me if this means that I could go from Warszawa to Krakow for 29 Zloty. If yes, please tell me if it is in every EX train ond if the number of places is limited. Is it possible to book through the internet? If not, please tell me how I could get one of these tickets.
We are two persons going. What would be the cheapest way?
I heard about a weekend special (like the german Wochenendticket)…
