What you can expect

Begin with a morning pickup from your accommodation in Durrës or Golem. Head south along the scenic highway to Vlorë, the historic birthplace of modern Albanian independence. Here, enjoy a visit to the National Museum of Independence, located inside the authentic 1912 building that served as the original seat of the country's first government to view preserved artefacts and the historic office of Ismail Qemali.

Next, transition to the vibrant Lungomare seaside promenade for a walking stroll along palm-lined paths overlooking pristine coastal waters. During this relaxing segment, enjoy a complimentary, freshly baked traditional Albanian byrek pastry snack paired with chilled bottled water.

For travellers seeking outdoor adventure, various activities are available to enjoy on-site depending on personal preference. Option A is a marine adventure featuring a speedboat ride, entering the massive Haxhi Ali Cave—a legendary pirate refuge where you can swim in turquoise waters. Option B is an aerial adventure offering a tandem paragliding flight launching from the scenic heights of Kanina, gliding over the dramatic coastline to experience unmatched panoramic views of the sea.

Following the coastal exploration, the journey moves inland through the plains of Fier. This driving segment offers sweeping views right from the windows of the air-conditioned group vehicle, showcasing the dramatic shift in geography as coastal palms give way to massive valleys lined with centuries-old olive trees and unique regional landscapes.

The definitive highlight of the late afternoon is the arrival at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Berat, the “City of a Thousand Windows.” Ascend directly to the ancient stone citadel of Berat Castle, a massive living fortress inhabited for over two millennia. On this trip, embark on a walking exploration of the inner fortress pathways, navigating winding cobblestone alleys, ancient Byzantine churches, and historic mosques. The timing is perfectly calculated so you stand along the white stone fortress walls precisely as the sun begins to set over the Tomorr mountain range, casting a spectacular golden glow over the valley.

The journey concludes with a descent into the historic quarters below the citadel. Explore the unique, stacked white stone architecture of the Mangalem quarter before walking across the iconic stone Gorica Bridge to discover the narrow alleys of Gorica. Enjoy dedicated free time to capture photos, purchase authentic souvenirs, or relax with an evening drink along the Osumi riverbank before the comfortable group journey back to Durrës and Golem.
