Eastern Europe is pricier now than 10 years ago, but for ease of travel it's hard to beat. $6k could easily finance 3 months there (Poland, Slovakia, Czech, Hungary, Romania etc) and the Tatras and Carpathian Mtns are great. The Balkans (Macedonia and Montenegro in particular) and Croatia are also quite beautiful. It would be all too easy to spend 3 months working your way from Istanbul or Athens to Poland or the Czech Republic.

The Ukraine is especially cheap right now due to recent fluctuations in their currency, but it might be a tad difficult to get around the mountains without knowledge of a local language. Big cities (Kiev, Lvov, etc) are definitely worth seeing.

And if you can stomach the bureaucracy of getting a visa, Russia is a phenomenal trip.
