I'm currently reading "The Broken Road: From the Iron Gates to Mount Athos", the third part of Patrick Leigh Fermor's description of his walk from The Hook of Holland to Constantinople in the early 1930's. This volume carries him through Bulgaria, Rumania, and European Turkey, followed by a side trip to Mount Athos.
Thanks for recommending Patrick Leigh Fermor, Mike L. It's a wonderful description of an amazing journey through a vanished world.
