The Balkans have many faces. Albania is one of them, calm, welcoming, quietly joyful. A country of many faces, shaped by overlapping histories: Greek, Ottoman, Soviet… Travelling through Albania is therefore several journeys in one. An inward journey, too, through a rugged backcountry of wild panoramas, bear-filled mountains and timeless villages like Berat, a true time machine. Lake Ohrid, shared with North Macedonia, serves locals as an inland sea. Closer to the coast, astonishing archaeological sites emerge: Apollonia, with its enchanting natural setting, and the remains of the Greek city of Butrint, which stand beside the beautiful eponymous lake. Medieval towns, fortresses and cobbled streets follow, before Albania starts to resemble the Riviera along the Ionian Sea, with turquoise waters and white-sand beaches. Who would have guessed?

Thanks to bespoke itineraries and personalised services adapted to each person's needs, our travel specialists lay the foundations for a responsible journey while still allowing room for the unexpected.
