Embark on a captivating journey through Albania, a country where rich history, cultural heritage, and stunning landscapes create a travel experience unlike any other. Begin in the vibrant capital of Tirana, where the stories of Albania’s past come alive in Skanderbeg Square, the Et'hem Bey Mosque, and the National Historical Museum. Wander past the intriguing Pyramid of Tirana, explore colorful neighborhoods, and enjoy the dynamic energy of the city before indulging in a traditional Albanian dinner to begin your adventure.
The journey then takes you to the cultural heart of the country in Korçë, passing through the peaceful lakeside town of Pogradec, set on the shores of Lake Ohrid. In Korçë, admire the grandeur of the cathedral, visit the National Education Museum to uncover Albania’s academic past, and stroll through the charming Old Bazaar. From there, head to Berat, the "City of a Thousand Windows," where centuries-old architecture and the impressive Berat Castle offer a glimpse into Albania’s enduring legacy. The Onufri Museum, nestled within the castle walls, houses intricate icons and religious art that speak to the country’s spiritual history.
As you travel further south, the UNESCO town of Gjirokastër awaits with its stone houses, cobbled alleys, and imposing fortress. Continue to the surreal beauty of the Blue Eye Spring, a natural phenomenon with its crystal-clear turquoise waters. In Saranda, unwind on the Ionian coast and explore the ancient ruins of Butrint National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The dazzling beaches of Ksamil offer a perfect seaside retreat, while evenings along the Riviera buzz with music, food, and festive charm. Discover hidden coastal gems like Borsh, Himarë, and Dhërmi on the scenic drive to Vlora, where history and sea views collide. End your journey in Durres, where the Roman Amphitheater and lively promenade provide a memorable conclusion to a trip filled with natural wonders, cultural richness, and warm Albanian hospitality.
