The regions along Danube rivers provide a specific summer experience in Serbia. Rivers’ fans don’t miss the opportunity to socialize over an ice cream, beach volleyball, or a drink while kids repeatedly ask to splash around for “another five minutes”.
- Cane umbrellas and sunbeds along the stretch of sand add to a genuine summer ambiance which can be found in Kladovo near Đerdap Gorge. You can enjoy water skiing or paddling or just dozing off in the shade and listening to Danube waves splashing the shore.
- So-called Serbian Thailand in Sremski Karlovci, an isle called Koh Chang resembling the one in Thailand. A sandy beach, a couple of cafés, peace with a Danube view, and you will get the feeling of being surrounded by the Thailand jungle.
