<\/a><\/a>\"LonelyBalkan Travellers
\n<\/strong>13 February, 2008 | Thessaloniki and Montenegro are the two destinations recommended for 2008 by the Lonely Planet community of authors, staff and travellers.<\/p>\n

Bluelist 2008<\/em> is the third edition of Lonely Planet\u2019s popular annual title containing a collection of travel inspirations for the year ahead. It contains recommendations for trends, destinations, journeys and experiences.<\/p>\n

Thessaloniki<\/span><\/span><\/a> was listed among Lonely Planet\u2019s twelve top-pick cities. Dubbed as a “spirited, energetic, forward-looking city,” the second largest town in Greece is also said to be its “cultural heart” and the gateway to Mount Athos<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some of the other cities on the list include Apia in Samoa, Bologna in Italy, Miami in the US, Fes in Morocco, Damascus in Syria and Vienna in Austria.<\/p>\n

The second Balkan destination recommended in the edition as a top-pick country for 2008 is Montenegro<\/span><\/span><\/a>. Describing the “sultry curve of its coastline” as “irresistible,” Lonely Plant says the country offers something for everyone: from “the Adriatic\u2019s deep blue waters” that entice “beach potatoes” to “the tall peaks of the snowy mountains” attracting the “activity-spurred travellers.”<\/p>\n

Montenegro is in the company of six other countries on the list. Among them are Armenia<\/span><\/span><\/a> and Bhutan<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n
