Itinerary

There is a corner of Europe that most travellers are yet to discover – where ancient bazaars still hum with craftspeople plying centuries-old trades, Byzantine monasteries cling to clifftops above impossibly blue lakes, and the welcome extended to strangers is genuine in a way that feels increasingly rare. Albania's white-walled hilltop towns, North Macedonia's vineyard-fringed valleys and Kosovo's layered old cities are each worth the journey alone.

day 1Tirana (Albania)

Few European capitals surprise quite like Tirana. This is a city in full stride – colourful and alive with an energy that only comes from a place rediscovering itself with enormous enthusiasm. The communist-era bunkers have been turned into art spaces, the boulevards are lined with vibrant cafés, and the mountains ring the city on all sides like a promise of the landscapes to come. This evening, you'll meet your Tour Leader and the small group of fellow travellers you'll share this journey with, before sitting down to a welcome dinner that offers your first taste of Albania's generous table – think slow-cooked meats, wild herbs, and the kind of hospitality that sets the tone for everything that follows.
