Included Experience

  • Tirana: Kicking off with a bang, tonight we'll savour a traditional Albanian dinner with warm stews, pies and breads.
  • Tirana: Buckle up! We're soaring in a cable car at 1050m. We'll explore the Enver Hoxha path (or 'the Promenade' as known locally) once we're at the summit - accompanied by breathtaking views of Tirana and its surroundings.
  • Tirana: Join a local guide who'll show you around Albania's capital city. You'll see the City Walls (Kalaja Tiranes), bustling bazaars & Skanderberg Square. Then you'll get a rundown on how to buy, taste and store olive oil from the pros at a farm in the city.
  • Himarë: It's a free beach day! Spend it away relaxing on the golden beaches. Take a dip in the sparkling sea. The local beach clubs here will defo pique your interest too...
  • Porto Palermo Bay: Castles by the sea are always gorgeous. But Porto Palermo is a treasure box of natural beauty. You've got some to explore the island & see the fortress of Ali Pash Tepelena AKA Lio of Yannina.
  • Himarë: Today’s your chance to witness a magical Iso-Polyphony performance - Albanian folk music that used to be sung in weddings, funerals & harvest festivals (and is included in UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage!). It’s a tradition that traces back to almost 2600 years, but is sadly disappearing with time. Every penny we spend here will help preserve this beautiful piece of culture.
  • Fishtë: Welcome to Mrizi i Zanave. Here, you'll have the chance to learn about sustainable farming. Then, we'll top it off with a wholesome organic dinner where the waiters will tell you where each local ingredient comes from. Seriously. It's so good, even Dua Lipa has visited this place!
  • Koman: You'll cruise over one of the most stunning lakes in Albania. We won't spoil the view for you, but keep your cameras rolling!
  • Valbonë: Lace up your boots! We've got 3 hours of hiking and endless breathtaking views in this national park. Expect jaw-dropping natural beauty & plenty of spots for your photo ops.
  • Prizren: See this beautiful town, studded with Ottoman architecture, flowing rivers, and intriguing artefacts. Cherry on top? The locals here are super hospitable too!
