Slovenia? Yes, Slovenia. While 9 out of 10 American’s couldn’t locate it on a map (its between Italy, Croatia, Austria, and Hungary), it’s gem of a country and definitely off the beaten tourist path. You can drive across the country in a day and it hosts lots of unknown history and amazing sites. A lake with an island church. A dragon bridge. Natural caves. More castles than you can shake a stick at. Nice people, quiet roads, and pays homage to tasty eastern European fare.
