Itinerary

Step back in time on the 'Cycling in Albania' tour, an eight-day bicycle adventure crafted for experienced travelers ready for a challenging ride. Begin on the Macedonian border in Pogradec, then pedal through pristine snow-capped mountains, rural valleys, and historic villages, all while experiencing Albania’s signature warmth and hospitality. The journey winds past the ancient town of Gjirokastra, the UNESCO-listed ruins of Butrint, and the lush vistas of Llogara National Park before culminating with relaxation by the sea in Vlore. With its demanding terrain and rewarding landscapes, this trip’s unique draw is the rare opportunity to uncover Europe’s lesser-known beauty—Albania’s dramatic scenery and genuine local culture—by bike.
