    I would personally pick Albania. All these countries are wonderful, so you can't go wrong anyhow.

    None of these countries are touristy, at least when compared to Western Europe or Greece, which is just next door. From what I have seen in the last few years Albania seems to be the best option and it is extremely cheap (or if you look hard enough it can be extremely cheap, rather). But it depends on what you want to visit and how. I have seen circuit plans in Portuguese travel agencies for Albania with flight, car and hotels starting from 500€, a bargain:



    It is on my wish list but I have some uncertainties about the safety conditions both on the road and in the more remote locations. I don't want to dissuade you but if you're going to travel solo to remote parts of Albania as a woman I'd say to think it through first. But if you stick to the main tourist and busy places, a little common sense is enough to probably enjoy a nice holiday.

    Albania is much cheaper than Montenegro, and has better beaches in the South (Saranda), Montenegro has better nightlife though

    Bosnia is a different type of holidays, since it has no coast, it's more for "cultural" tourism, although as a Balkan Muslim, it's rather Prizren (in Kosovo) and part of Skopje that have a much more authentic Ottoman flavour than Sarajevo or Mostar

    Montenegro live predominantly of tourism and criminal activities https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Montenegro

    Montenegro is quite poor with fertile land and natural resources.
