Serbian Après Ski
Amenities are ever-developing. The facilities and après-ski entertainment is much like the skiing, cheap and fairly limited. Much of the ski accommodation is quite basic here a mixture of slopeside apartments and hotels. The entertainment is often centred around the hotels, but the main square of Kopaonik is home to some bars and restaurants, with live music on offer most nights. Many tourists make the most of the half-board options within the hotels, with both international and local fare appearing on the menus. Serbian cuisine is influenced by Turkey, Greece and Hungary, with an emphasis on meats and fruit, and the national drink Slivovitz, a concoction distilled from plums, is available everywhere.
Cheap, family friendly, beginner's slopes, stunning nature, and even après ski, I say we GO!
