Discovery Tour of Albania's Cities & Coast

About This Tour

An 8-day private tour from Tirana through Ottoman Berat, the Vjosa River, ancient Butrint, and the Albanian Riviera's coastline to Kruje. The route deliberately loops from Tirana's inland heritage towns down to the Ionian coast and back — rafting on the Vjosa River on day four sits between two very different landscapes.
