Programmes for this destination

Why we take guests here

Albania offers different kinds of holidays through its beaches, historic towns and mountain villages. In the south, the Albanian Riviera and Ksamil's coves suit a seaside stay, while Theth valley and Shkodër feature in nature and cultural routes in the north. Berat's historic houses and Rozafa Castle in Shkodër are other places to visit. When combining the coast and mountains, road conditions and daily driving time matter alongside distances on a map. We prepare the route around your holiday length and leave time to explore each stop comfortably. Together we can consider a private-car programme, a stay based only on the coast or a Balkan route that includes neighbouring countries.

Discover Albania's turquoise bays, historic towns and mountain villages.

What a week here looks like

Before you go

How do you handle the planning and the entry paperwork?

A planner walks you through the current entry and document requirements for your passport before anything is confirmed, then checks them again close to departure. Albania is straightforward for most passports, but we confirm it for your dates rather than assuming last season still applies.

Is Albania worth combining with Montenegro or Bosnia?

Yes, Albania, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina can be combined in one Balkan programme. We plan accommodation, travel between cities and time for border crossings around your travel dates.

When is the Riviera at its best?

Warmer months are usually chosen for beach holidays. If mountain areas such as Theth are included, weather and road conditions also need to be considered. We finalise the programme around your travel dates.
