About This Tour
A 17-day private tour circling Albania end to end — Tirana, Shkodra and Lake Komani, Karavasta Lagoon, Berat, the Albanian Riviera, Saranda and Butrint, Gjirokastra, Korça, and Lake Ohrid's Albanian shore. At over two weeks, this is our most complete look at Albania — the pace allows a full day at leisure in Dhermi on the coast, a rarity on our other, faster-moving routes.
