I'm planning/thinking of a Balkans trip in August. The problem is, I don't want to buy a tour package and will kinda freestyle, I'll have 7 to 10 days for it. While not wanting to spend all of it in buses and trains, I def wanna use the daytime Belgrade-Bar railway. Lake Ohrid is also a must. So after the train the most logical route seems to be Montenegro, Albania and then Macedonia. But I'll need the specifics of border-crossing public transports. I don't trust ai and I don't rent/drive a car.

I used to change actual sim cards until now. Then I finally got a phone that supports esims and my next trip is 2 weeks in Balkans. Is Sparks good or overrated? They seem to be the only one w Balkan-specific packages but then I saw some negative comments about it for elsewhere and couldn't be sure. Airalo seems pretty popular, but that seems more expensive than I thought for what they cover. Which do you recommend?
