Even if there is a school in Southern Europe, we know that it is not as prestigious a school as the three major European schools (Beauxbatons, Hogwarts, Durmstrang).  Krum's parents probably wanted to send him to the best school.  Obviously, Krum is a very talented Quidditch player, and this was probably seen even when he was younger.  Perhaps the wanted to send him somewhere where his talents will be fully cultivated.  Draco could have been sent to Durmstrang (albeitm for less than wholesome reasons), so we know that sometimes students are sent to schools other than ones closest to them because it is a better match for that student or their parents
