Apparently, ALBANIA on the coast south of Montenegro is the new hot real estate spot. It is much cheaper than the other former Yugoslavian Adriatic countries. has great beaches. Also, in the winter there are ski areas in Bulgaria not to far away that cost about $20/day. Here is what appears to be a brand new 1 bedroom apartment on the beach for 40K EU http://albanian-property.com/listing/frontline-apartments-for-sale-in-vlora-albania/
