HIGHLIGHTS

The UNESCO World Heritage Cities of Berat & Gjirokastra
The chance to visit the archaeological parks of Butrint, Bylis, Apollonia, Antigonea
An optional gentle day hike from Gjirokastra (easy terrain)
One night in a quiet village on the Albanian Riviera

A seven-night / eight-day introduction to Southern Albania, with a two-night stop along the way in the UNESCO World Heritage City of Gjirokastra.

This is a private guided tour, so you have the flexibility to make detours en route (within reason!) and your guide can arrange optional activities as you travel.

Accommodation is in comfortable 3* equivalent hotels, with one night in a village guesthouse (very comfortable hotel-standard en suite rooms).

We've designed this tour to skip the more ugly and over-developed cities such as Saranda, Durrës and Vlorë, and keep drive times reasonable.

We recommend this tour for travel between mid-September and late October, and mid-March and late May.
