Albania, 8 Days · Tailor-made by car
Route of the fabulously unspoilt Albania
Discover Europe's best-kept secret from behind the wheel
Cut off for decades, Albania is finally opening up to the world. The country was a huge enigma for years, but today, after the fall of communism, Albania is developing in leaps and bounds. Now's the perfect time to discover its culture and its ancient history. Visit one of the most amazing destinations in Europe, where Romans, Illyrians, Byzantines, Greeks and Ottomans have all left their mark. Explore its capital Tirana, a colourful and vibrant city with a firm gaze on the future. Discover the museum-like town of Berat, with its traditional whitewashed houses at the foot of its impressive castle. Fall in love with the medieval village of Krujë, a key player in the history of Albania. And make sure you get to see the blissful Albanian Riviera, lapped by intense blue waters, and the Albanian Alps, also known as the Accursed Mountains. And it gets even better: Albania is a country populated by friendly and very welcoming people. In short, you'll be amazed by this little piece of paradise, with its white-sand beaches and truly majestic lakes and mountains.

Destinations Visited
Important remarks
- Albania is a Muslim country and the month of Ramadan is of major significance to its residents. During Ramadan, entertainment and alcohol will be restricted in most of the country. The sale of alcohol will be restricted in many places, although some establishments will offer alcohol for sale to tourists. During this period, local businesses may also have shorter opening hours.
- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
