About This Tour
Albania is not a country you visit once and understand. This 10-day total immersion was designed for curious minds who want to go beneath the surface — stay in homes, cook with families, visit a raki still, weave a kilim rug, walk through ruins most tourists never find, and leave knowing Albania from the inside out. Covering 14 destinations from the northern mountains to the southern coast, it includes every UNESCO site, every major cultural experience, and several that exist on no other itinerary in the world. The best seller for repeat European travellers, Chinese cultural groups, and anyone who hates shallow tourism.
