The next ruler on Instagram: ".. The Balkans is a natural region in Southeastern Europe, known for its great diversity. It is covered with rugged mountains such as the Dinaric Alps, the Balkan Mountains, and the Pindus range. It overlooks several important seas: the Adriatic Sea, the Aegean Sea, the Black Sea, and the Ionian Sea. Its climate combines the mild Mediterranean on the coasts with the cold continental inland. Large rivers flow through it, such as the Danube, the Drin, and the Morava.
