Magical Winter Adventure

Had an absolute blast during my visit in late February. Although prior to travelling everyone kept telling me you’re travelling in the wrong season nonetheless Berkana and Ana were off tremendous help ensuring I got to see Albania outside of the capital. Working their magic and working out routes that are supposingly closed due to tourist low season. I was fortune enough to have Ana as tour guide throughout my 4 tours with them hands down the best tour guide I have ever came across throughout my long travels. She’s very informative, outgoing and extremely patriotic so you could easily spot how passionate she is with what she loves doing. I was honestly out spending some good quality time with a close friend♥️ she’s also extremely multitalented videographer, photographer, and if you’re lucky enough she might bust out some of her phenomenal passion to dance moves😉 a 100% will be back in the summer to explore more and definitely with them. Words can’t express how thankfully I am🙏🏻

Fantastic Tirana Tour with Sirma: Hidden Gems and Delicious Local Cuisine

Sirma was terrific. She took us to little out of the way places (like the Kommittee bar) and really gave us a good overview of the city, Tirana history, etc. We wanted to sample some local cuisine and we definitely did (yum, barek). Highly recommend!

Unforgettable 8-Day Adventure: The Enchanting Balkans Tour

"I recently embarked on the ""Tour of Enchanting Balkans"" from Tirana to Dubrovnik/Split, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From start to finish, this 8-day adventure was filled with awe-inspiring landscapes, rich cultural experiences, and the perfect blend of history and modern charm. Our knowledgeable guide Besa made the journey even more special by sharing fascinating insights into the region's history, traditions, and local stories."

We enjoyed our time in Albania so much. The tour agency staff especially Sirma, she was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely return and book with this agency again.

Introducing Albania

Closed off from the world until the early 1990s, Albania remains one of Europe’s most enigmatic destinations. Head into the mountains on a hiking expedition to Gijrokaster – a Unesco World Heritage site dating from the seventeenth century. Alternatively, take a road trip to the country’s extraordinary – yet often deserted – beaches, or swap the Mediterranean for the hot springs at Benja.

Get in touch with our local travel experts to create the ideal customized tour to Albania with your interests at heart. 

When to go to Albania

Anyone looking forward to an Albanian vacation should be aware of the best time to visit the country. Generally speaking, the period stretching from the start of spring in April until the end of summer in October is considered to be the peak season when it comes to traveling to Albania. These months are ideal for capturing everything from remote mountains to Mediterranean beaches. In July and August, temperatures can soar over 30°C in coastal areas and the beaches are at their most crowded. The country receives some rain and snow during the fall and winter months of November through March, making this a good time for skiing and snowboarding. Learn more.

How long to stay in Albania

Although Albania is a small country, we suggest ruling out any itinerary under four days if you wish to make the most of your vacation. With four to five days, you have enough time to take in the sights and sounds of the capital, Tirana, discover the ancient monasteries of Lake Ohrid, and gaze at the remains of a Roman amphitheatre in Durres. If you have between seven to ten days with you, then you can drive through the Llogara Pass and cover the highlights of Berat before relaxing in the Albanian Riviera. With two weeks to spare, there is no destination in Albania out of bounds for you. Learn more.

Must-visit destinations in Albania

Most tourists will start off in Tirana, which is worth a day of sightseeing and exploring the excellent food option. Vlores’s old town should also be on the list of any tailormade jaunt to Albania. Butrint, yet another bucket-list destination, is home to numerous Roman remains, while the Unesco-listed Podragec combines a commanding location near Lake Ohrid with proximity to important sites, including the Illyrian Tombs of Selca e Poshtme in the ancient city of Pelion. Hikers will adore the endless footpaths that cut through the Albania Alps. Meanwhile, avid beachgoers should make sure that they include a couple of days in the resort town of Ksamil in their itinerary.
