You can find something in all of the countries in eastern europe, if you look hard enough. A few of my favourites: Slovenia (Ljuljana/Bled/Bohinj), Bosnia (Sarajevo/Mostar), Bulgaria (Veliko Tarnovo), Turkey (Istanbul is a must!) and if youre into music, see if there are any festivals in Petrcane near Zadar in Croatia, and then maybe head to Exit (South East Europe's biggest festival).

The Monetenegran coast is sweet, and if youre feeling a bit more adventurous you can day trip into Kosovo from Skopje in Macedonia, and Albania would be fascinating.

The problem is in Eastern Europe the IR pass isnt particularly good value, since some places arent on the rail network, and trains are much cheaper anyway

Feel free to PM/post any other questions
