Immersive Albania: History, Nature & Crafts

About This Tour

An 8-day private tour from Kruje through Ottoman Berat, ancient Apollonia, artisan Gjirokastra, and rural farm life in Këlcyrë and Përmet, ending in Tirana. Two full nights in Këlcyrë are set aside for farm visits and village life rather than moving on quickly — this is the most rural-focused of our Albania itineraries.
