The "Highlights Of Albania" tour starts in Tirana and ends in Kruje. The "Highlights Of Albania" tour is a cultural, religious and historic sites tour that takes 10 days taking you through Tirana, Berat, Tirana, Llogara National Park and 5 other destinations in Albania and Macedonia. This is a guided small group tour that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Albania has a history to rival its better-known (and busier) neighbours and an equally impressive wild landscape. Past civilisations have left their mark here, mainly the Romans and Byzantines, which we see throughout the tour, including at the ancient Greek colony of Butrint and the 13th-century Berat Castle, both Unesco-listed. We also discover modern Albania, visiting the cities of Tirana, Korçë, Durrës and foodie-favourite Përmet. Expect a warm welcome wherever we go.

Interesting insight to Albania
This was a good trip which covered the main highlights of Albania. It is interesting to see how the country is progressing and developing in the last few decades since the fall of communism and regional troubles.

Excellent tour of a less-known country
The trip was packed with interesting and 'must-see' visits and activities, but there was still enough time to relax, explore independently, and try the wonderful locally grown food. Mediterranean climate and food. Mountains,... Read more
