The Great Canyons of Montenegro
This is the drive-and-look day rather than the hike-and-raft one, and the driving is the point: the road threads canyon after canyon, and the stops are spaced so nobody is stuck in a vehicle for hours at a stretch. Moraca is a 13th-century monastery whose frescoes have survived remarkably well, the Tara bridge has an optional zipline across the gorge for anyone who wants it, and the Black Lake gives you an hour and a half on foot among the pines.
