About the trip

Starting in Tirana, the capital, this G Adventures small-group tour introduces you to the city’s mix of colourful Soviet-era architecture and a youthful energy. From there, the route heads south into the mountains, with a walk to a shepherd outpost that includes lunch — an opportunity to see rural life away from the coast.

The itinerary then follows the Albanian Riviera, where the legendary Castle of Ali Pasha, featured in The Count of Monte Cristo, stands watch. The Roman ruins of Durrës draw visitors keen on history, while UNESCO-listed Berat, with its white Ottoman-era houses, and the fortified town of Gjirokastër complete the journey through the country’s varied heritage.

This six-night tour rounds off back in Tirana, with included orientation walks, a winery visit, and a farewell dinner. G Adventures provides local leadership and a group dynamic that aims to take the hassle out of travel without dictating every moment.
