Then, tuck into home-made cheeses, pies and boreks, meet Sarajevo’s only female coppersmith and explore the historic and off-the-beaten-path town of Jajce.

Itinerary is good except that it would be good to have one more day at Istanbul.

I had the most fantastic time island hopping through Greece. The views were absolutely beautiful, but a lot of it was due to our fantastic trip manager, *Personal details removed by Feefo*, who made sure that we were having a fantastic time all the time no matter what we were doing no matter where we went. He went above and beyond and made sure that even during our free time when he didn’t need to that, we were having reservations at dinner or going out somewhere fun and having drinks and he just did a really absolutely fantastic job. And although my group was smaller than the average and made it so it was really intimate and that we were able to connect with the other travellers on the group, and I made some lifelong friends. And of course Greece is absolutely and incredible country and has some many amazing things to see.
This trip provides the opportunity to walk a beautiful long distance path, led with skill and charm and with excellent accommodation along the way. I had a wonderful experience.

Would highly recommend this trip. It provides great variety in scenery, beginning in the very hilly area around the base of Mt Olympus; down into lovely valleys and then stunning coastal scenery. We found the written directions to be excellent while the red and white track markers gave us lots of help as well. We were very impressed with Mehmet who kept in contact with us at the end of each day.
It may be an under-the-radar-travel destination, but when it comes to dazzling landscapes and fascinating culture, Albania is every bit as magnificent as its more popular neighbours. Spend nine days getting to know this Balkan gem with a local leader, travelling from bustling cities to remote reaches. Drink coffee with locals in Tirana, hike along off-grid rivers in the country’s north, stay in welcoming guesthouses and beachside hotels, and spend the night on a sustainable farm. You’ll learn about local crafts with artists, birdwatch as you eat breakfast in a spectacular national park, and learn about Albania’s culture and history from those who know it best.
