Highlights
  • Tirana - Our tour leader will pick you up at your hole in Tirana
  • Durres - Our tour leader will pick you up at your hole in Durres
  • Saranda - Saranda is considered to be the pearl of the Albanian riviera, especially during the summer period, when many refer to it as the unofficial capital of Albania. Located in a perfect natural bay of the Ionian Sea with an amazing view of Corfu Island. Saranda is blessed with more than 300 days of sunshine during a year, making it a favorite destination for both local and international tourists.
    The city is known for its rocky beaches, numerous bays, rich flora and fauna, citrus plantations, olive groves and vineyards.
  • Port of Saranda - The port of Saranda is one of the most important in the southern region of Albania, thus becoming a connecting point with the Mediterranean countries. You can have a walk throw the promenade of Saranda, by the Ionian Sea enjoying the view, drink a coffee or have an ice cream by the seaside.
  • Ksamil - Ksmail will be our next destination! You will feel like you are exploring some tropical paradise when being on its white sandy beaches with the view of the four islands in-front of the beach. Ksamil is the pearl of the Albanian Riviera and it surely is one of the best beach destinations in Europe. Ksamil is primarily known for its fine sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. The Albanian Riviera has many pretty beaches, however, this beach gives you that Bora – Bora feeling. You will have some time to dive in and enjoy the turquoise colour of the sea and soak up the atmosphere.
  • The Blue Eye - Our Tour leader will come and pick you up in the afternoon and depart towards the natural wonder of the Blue Eye, a source of fresh water surrounded by evergreen trees. The source comes from “Mali i Gjere” and reaches a depth that has not yet been discovered, so far divers have gone deep to 50 meters. The water temperature does not go above 10 degrees. The Blue Eye looks like it come straight out of fairy tale but you can actually visit it. You will not be able to keep your eyes off the mesmerizing crystal-clear blue water
  • Tirana - After this amazing experience we will drive back to Tirana.

Best tour ever ! - First time booking a tour in Albania , it was a wonderful and welcoming experience! My guide, Idir was very knowledgeable about the environment and the history of the region. I learned so much and was able to appreciate all the sites I discovered. My guide was very respectful and kind. It was extremely pleased by this experience. I would recommend it to fellow Canadians who love hiking and nature as well as anyone who enjoys discovering the rich Albanian culture.

What a great day! - We went on a very hot day and our guide Renato still managed to make our trip great! The views were amazing and we were able to time many of the events so we got a great swim in at Ksamil. The day was so fun. Great food, great conversation and we got to learn a lot about Albania. Thank you for such an incredible experience, we can’t wait to book our next trip!!

Amazing tour with amazing staff! - This trip was way better than we anticipated! Our guide Fabio was super helpful the whole time, he even went above and beyond to help us with translations and advice for the rest of our time in Tirana. We highly recommend this trip to anyone as it was such a comprehensive trip through the south of Albania at such reasonable price. We would definitely do this again!

A must do tour! - What a day! It started off with a lovely greeting and continued to impress us. Our guide Fabio was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and kind. He showed us the beauty of Albania while still ensuring that we were comfortable. There is no way we could fit in all of the activities and learning we did without this tour, which makes it exceptional value for money and an absolute must do if you’re in Albania!

Wonderful places - The places are wonderful. But too much people at the Blue Eye, which was due to the summer period. For Saranda, we just walk on the promenade (near to the beach), thus we stay there 15/30 minutes. Ksamil was wonderful but you need to find an umbrella and pay for it because no place on the sand to put your towel. Even if the place was really nice, I think that you need more than 1 day to do this tour because we spent more time in the car than enjoying. The guide was kind and give us a lot of information regarding different cities in Albania, but it was like a « taxi », drop us to the spot and then pick up.
