Balkan Flexipass

As the name suggests, this is a flexible pass which covers the railways of the Balkans, namely Bulgaria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Greece, Montenegro, The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, and Turkey. This would be particularly useful if you are including Turkey in part of a wider itinerary, or if you intend traveling overland to / from Turkey.

Information on pricing and availability is contradictory. UK based websites only offer the First Class tickets, and state that the tickets cannot be purchased by residents of the countries listed. Other sources state you can purchase them in the countries listed, but the ticket is only valid for a direct journey to the border of the country in which you purchase the ticket. The TCDD website lists a full range of tickets in both 1^st and 2^nd class. Adult prices are:

• 5 days in 1 month : £153
• 10 days in 1 month : £267
• 15 days in 1 month : £322

These prices are taken from www.internationalrail.com
