We spoke with social media influencer and real estate consultant Mirela Redzic to explore her remarkable journey of returning to Bosnia for full time living. We discuss her family's adjustment, buying a home in Sarajevo, and the challenges she faced in this transformative move.

The Balkans, a tapestry of cultures, languages, and landscapes, has increasingly piqued the interest of foreign buyers searching for a home away from home. It's a region where the traditions of Europe meet the mysteries of the East, offering picturesque coastal towns, verdant countrysides, and historic urban centers, often at a fraction of the price found elsewhere in Europe.

In this property buying guide, we dive into the details for each of these incredible countries to give you an introduction to the area.
