Spectacularly situated on the top of one of the many rolling hills of beautiful forested southern Serbia, close to the border with Bosnia, Mecavnik is made for romance. A cluster of quirky wooden huts, each individualy decorated, straddle the peak, fanning out from the small main square, where there is a restaurant, cafe, contemporary art gallery, swimming pool, sauna, gym, and, as Kusturica himself lives here, of course there is a cinema.

If you go in the winter, there is a ski slope close by.

At £35pppn for a double room with breakfast and dinner included, it's an absolute bargain too!

The famous 'Sargan 8' narrow gauge steam train is a memorable trip through the mountains nearby, which I also recommend.

For a kayaking holiday, the Tour International Danubien is one of the most amazing kayak or canoe trips in the world. It goes from Ingolstadt all the way to the Black Sea, but you can join for short stages if you don't have the three months it takes for the whole trip. Lovely warm water, fantastic people (both fellow paddlers and locals), interesting cultures, nice beaches and a fascinating history of the event itself are all part of the attraction. The difficulty of the kayaking is not great, although you need a fair amount of endurance. And you have to get up pretty early in the morning every day in order to make a start on your journey. All kinds of people do it, including some family groups.

I recommend a private guide named Cathy if you want to see Belgrade through local eyes. She can organize everything from hotels to tickets for the National Theater! Nice,funny, kind and not expensive. Those were the best days!

you can write to her by e-mail: kaja287@gmail.com She is very busy, so book her in advance.

Overflowing with amazing music, alcohol and lots, lots, lots more... this is a festival unlike any other. Few tourists make this a once in a lifetime kind of festival.

For other festivals - take Dettol soap - you will never feel so clean!
