The Balkan Peninsula is a geographical region in Southeast Europe that includes several countries, primarily those located to the southeast of Europe and the Adriatic Sea. The term "Balkan" refers to the countries that occupy this peninsula.
Balkan Countries: Some of the key countries that are geographically and politically part of the Balkans include:
Greece
Croatia
Albania
Serbia
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Montenegro
North Macedonia
Bulgaria
Parts of Turkey (European part)
Hungary, however, is not part of the Balkans. Geographically, Hungary is located to the north of the Balkan Peninsula, in Central Europe. It shares borders with countries like Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine, and some Balkan states such as Croatia and Serbia, but Hungary itself does not fall within the political or geographical definition of the Balkans.
Thus, Hungary is considered part of Central Europe and not part of the Balkan group of countries.
