If you're searching for something a little different from your next European adventure, the contrast of the jagged Albanian Alps against the clear Ionian coastline is attracting more and more visitors to its relatively quiet tourism scene.
Starting from the shores of Lake Ohrid, you wind along the rural mountain roads that border Greece, passing the wild Vjosa River surrounded by the peaks of the Gramoz, Trebeshina and Nemercka ranges. You'll find UNESCO World Heritage sites aplenty including the Ottoman town of Gjirokaster and the archaeological marvel of Butrint. As you grow ever closer to the inviting turquoise waters, you'll be rewarded with stunning views of the Ionian and Adriatic Seas as they welcome you to the pristine beaches of the Albanian Riviera.
Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to visit traditional Albanian villages where you can immerse yourself in the culture, interacting with local people and enjoying authentic Albanian hospitality. Taste regional delicacies, from hearty mountain cuisine to fresh seafood along the coast, of course accompanied by the local wines and raki (a traditional Albanian spirit); these are a must-try!
This two-wheeled journey through Southeast Albania is a perfect blend of adventure and discovery. From the serene mountains to the captivating coastline, and from historical UNESCO sites to archaeological wonders, this trip promises an unforgettable experience filled with natural beauty and cultural richness whilst avoiding the larger crowds.
Head deep into the Albanian Alps to hike a collection of the most scenic trails in what has been called ‘Europe’s last true wilderness’. Here, natural beauty dazzles at every turn − Alpine valleys, glacial lakes, soaring peaks – and we have plenty of time for culture too, including village stays and explorations of Tirana, Krujë, Berat, plus the Ottoman town of Pizren in Kosovo. If you’re looking for wild walks, cultural immersion, and plenty of tales to take home, this trip is for you.
