day 1Tirana

You will be welcomed by a member of our staff and accompanied to the hotel where you will be staying the first night. Depending on the time of your arrival, we will explore the city.
A city since 1614 and the capital of Albania since 1920, Tirana is the country's main cultural hub. Discover a city famous for the colorful facades of its buildings and the harmony between the various religions in the country.
Time permitting, we will visit the National Museum located on Skanderbeg Square, which will be a nice introduction to the rich Albanian history. Close to this square, we will be able to see the mosque "Et'hem Bey", which has been preserved even during the communist era for its historical value, the opera, the clock tower, and the palace of culture.
We will next visit the superb Orthodox Cathedral as well as the Catholic Cathedral. You will also see the pyramid (the Museum of the former dictator, Enver Hoxha).

The Balkans were once known as the “Powder Keg of Europe”. Indeed, history is full of sudden burst of strong Balkan passions. But wars are left in the past. We can now only enjoy the beautiful features of the sunny face of the Balkans — beautiful and preserved nature, old monasteries, cozy towns — a different and slightly old-fashioned Europe. In this 14-day tour of the Balkans, we take you through eight countries in the region. See the most interesting places in each country: Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania and Macedonia. They are all alike and at the same time very different in their own ways. This is the place, where Europe meets the Orient, where Christians and Muslims have lived together for centuries, where old traditions coexist with the rhythm of the 21st century. Highlights of the tour include Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina; Dubrovnik, the masterpiece of the Adriatic; and the picturesque Kotor Bay and the town of Kotor, which form a beautiful ensemble of natural, historic and cultural heritage. You will also visit Visoki Decani Monastery in Kosovo; Tirana, the capital city of Albania; and Ohrid, the capital of Bulgarian Empire. See the itinerary section for more details.
