4 4-Day Experiences in Albania to Build a Day Around

1.Private 4 Day Tour of Albania from North to the South

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 36 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $838Our pick

Travel privately from Tirana across Albania with guide Skerdi, visiting Rozafa Castle, Shkodra, Kruja, Durres, Berat, Gjirokastra, the Blue Eye, and Saranda. Expect a clean private car, two included breakfasts, private rooms, and a flexible route with plenty of scenery and local context.

“Even though it was 42 degrees, Skerdi and We did extra activities. We have seen many faces of Albania: the north, the south, the petrol station, the melon, the mountains and the beaches. We saw thousands of flamingos in a monastery, ate lamb in a local pub. Slept in a castle, cheered in the streets. What the biggest surprise was: to discover how much Albanian and Hungarian history have in common. We even have similar legends. And now it will also be a legend for us and for Skerdi that we travelled together for the first time through Albania's brand new, longest tunnel.”

2.Semi-Private Tour; Theth, Valbona & Koman Lake in 4 Days

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $1,041

This four-day, small-group trip links Theth, Valbona, and Komani Lake with guides such as Parid, Sergej, Klei, and Redon assigned as available. Expect mountain roads, homestays, a demanding Valbona Pass hike, local food, and hotel pickup in Tirana or Shkoder.

“The trip with Ervin was great! We had a very nice time. Some communications issues, due to intermediate English, but that was totally fine. For others I would say that the food in the guesthouses is traditional, so you will eat the same everyday (not very vegetarian friendly). Also it was not timed super well for lunch in some parts of the trip, so I would recommend to bring some snacks that you can eat throughout the trip. I would say you need to be an intermediate/experienced hiker for the trip. All in all it was a great experience and I would recommend Ervin as a guide!”
