Aventure is dangerous, but routine is lethal
A book I read some time ago had these exact words “if you think adventure is dangerous, try routine, it’s lethal”. And this made me realize that we need to get back to traveling and exploring new places. We need to see things that will remain in our minds for a lifetime. Albania is one of those countries that you will not be able to get out of your head. Trust me, as an Albanian, my country amazes me every time. In every place I have previously visited I still find things that amaze me, from the history to the rocks that pave their way around the city telling untold stories of the people that have lived from generation to generation in this stunning country.
If you think Albania is just a small country in the Balkans think twice because the addictive rugged north Albanian Alps look like some magnificent beasts that protect the country meanwhile the south is a joyful place with the most beautiful coastlines. However, on the other side, the capital with its nightlife, colors, and traffic looks more lively than ever meanwhile the history of the other cities is addictive. And the cherry on top of the cake is the people of this country, their kindness to strangers is infectious and the generosity is unmatched.

Gjirokastra Day Tour From Tirana
Another one of the best Albanian Tours for 2021-22 is the tour of Gjirokastra, personally one of my favorite cities.
Gjirokastra or the STONE TOWN deserves more recognition because it is one of the most beautiful Albanian Towns and it is rich in history, culture and as Albanian people say, Scrooges. That however is not true, or maybe it is? You should discover it on one of our tours of Gjirokastra, we recommend you spend more than 1 Day in this lovely town. You ask for it and thou shall receive. A castle, 2 old houses that have a great story of Albanian life, a museum, make it two maybe, some more houses that are important, the Drina Valley and more are waiting for you to explore. This town will truly leave you amazed. I promise.

Kruja – Preza – Durres – Three Castles in a Day-Tour
Since we talked about castles, let’s continue talking about Castles. By this sentence of this article, I bet you found yourself wondering what is it with Albania and why it has so many castles? I for sure won’t spill the tea, because you have to come, visit and see them yourself. This tour takes you to central Albania, or that’s what we call it anyway. Kruja is the famous town of one of Albania’s most famous warriors who won 24/25 battles and left such a legacy behind. Preza, so close to Tirana, a small village with a castle, wonder why? Come and learn about it. Then proceeding to Durres which is a city by the shore of the Adriatic with a lot of ancient history.
You ask for more castles. We will deliver.
2 Days Cultural Tour of Central Albania, Ardenica – Apollonia and Berati
We are gonna continue with historical sites because I think everyone likes them. Even if not, you came all this way to Albania, you might as well explore it. Berat is the famous town of Windows and Saint Triad but also of a castle. I bet you did not expect it, you did because I told you we have many, anyway, Berat is a town rich in legends, history, and culture. A great scenery surrounds this beautiful town that makes you feel at home. Meanwhile, on the Ancient side, we proceed to Apollonia and Ardenica, two of the most important sites of the Albanian Culture.
Mount Korab, a two days tour from Tirana or Shkodra
Way up we go, meaning to the highest peak of Albania. Mount Korab is the cherry on top of Albania because that’s our highest peak, and we’ve declared it the cherry on top of the cake, cause this country is so good it resembles a cake, there might be some hard parts of the cake where the crust is thicker but it’s still a cake and only if you’re on a strict no travel diet you avoid Albania. This tour takes you through pastures of green hues to the rooftop to see what it looks like to be at the top of the world (not literally).
This tour is a must book and we can arrange it at your request.
