North Europe may be the birthplace and historic heartland of
hostelling, but South Europe has greater numbers nowadays, and the
quality is as good, if not better. South Europe may just have the
greatest number of hostels in the world, in fact, but the
distribution of them might surprise you. For, while France may be
the Number One tourist destination in the world, it's not at the
top of the hostel list. No, the greatest number of hostels in the
world is in the Iberian Peninsula, in modern-day Spain and
Portugal. The quality in Spain and Portugal is very good, too, in
fact, exactly the paradigm of what a modern 'flashpacker' hostel
should be. There are almost 500 of them here in this book, complete
with specs and details. But that's not all. Italy and the expensive
Alpine countries of Austria and Switzerland are here, too, now
affordable with the sudden wide spread of hostels. And Greece is
here, of course, with its fabulous sun-soaked islands, timeless
culture, and... self-contained party compounds. The smart money is
on East Europe, though, with (almost) everything you can find in
the West, and all at half the price. The Cold War is but a memory,
too, with borders little more than formalities, if even that. In
none of the countries listed in this book is a visa required of a
Westerner. You can simply hop on the plane, or train, or bus, and
go. C U in Barcelona, Lisbon, Rome, or... Belgrade?
