Amazing tour - Absolutely fantastic tour. I recommend this if you’re looking to see a pre-Hellenistic settlement in this region. It’s a bit of a climb to Finiq but it’s absolutely worth it to see the ruins and the view. Leo was an amazing guide and helped personalize the experience for me. He was very knowledgeable of the sites and gave me a lot of information! Definitely do this tour alongside Butrint to get a full picture of the Sarandë region.
