Worst. Route. Ever.

I'm thinking of going to Montenegro (part of the former Yugoslavia), and I'm looking into flight options. Dubrovnik is the closest semi-major airport, and so I wanted to check on the drive. The route above is what Google Maps suggested. Rather than take what appears to be a direct route of an hour or so, it suggests a 21-hour, 5-country odyssey involving two ferries across the Adriatic and driving in the exact opposite direction of the goal.

Strong work, Google.
