About this tour

Discover the rich cultural and religious heritage of Albania, one of Europe’s most underrated destinations, where Ottoman landmarks, ancient archaeological sites, and striking natural landscapes line the largely unspoilt Adriatic coast. From the vibrant capital Tirana and the historic towns of Krujër and Shkodër to the coastal cities of Vlorë and Sarandë, the journey blends dramatic scenery with a thriving modern arts scene, while UNESCO-listed sites such as Butrint, Apollonia, Gjirokastër, and Berat reveal layers of Greek, Roman, and Albanian history that bring this Adriatic gem vividly to life.
