I would like to fly to Istanbul, then, by either bus or train go to (from Istanbul): Sofia > Bucharest > Chisinau > Kiev > Minsk > Vilnius > Riga > fly home.
Can anyone give me an insight into how much this will cost, if I stayed in cheap, but decent hotels and ate out in cheap, traditional restaurants (so no McDonalds)! I have a fairly low budget and also info on if my travel insurance would cover this (ie are these places covered in general in most standard policies).
Thanks in advance!
