If you have experience in such routes (or close to it), I would appreciate your advice/feedback/wisdom to get the most out of the flavours offered by those countries. I prefer bus or train to experience more. I have spent 4 months travelling throughout Western Europe (mostly by roads) and it was a great experience. I hope to have the same on this Eastern venture.
Where possible train would be my suggestion. Keep in mind the distances between cities though.

Bus may well cost less, but can take much longer than the train. Rail passes are also a good way to save money, again where possible.
