The Balkans
The Balkan peninsula extends from central Europe towards Turkey and includes many former east bloc countries, including several countries of the former Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia was a country between Austria and Greec which was formed after World War I and existed until 1991. After 1991 Yugoslavia broke down into a number of countries: Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Montenegro and Macedonia.
The northeastern part of the Balkans contains large areas of plains, while the south and west is mostly mountainous. The western coastline along the Adriatic sea is beautiful and has many islands.
