Tirana to Corfu: Ancient Towns & the Albanian Riviera

This six-night itinerary from G Adventures navigates through Albania's notable heritage and coastal charms before crossing to the Greek isle of Corfu. Beginning in Tirana, the capital city, there's time to learn local recipes in a cooking class and stroll the streets on an orientation walk. A visit to Kruje follows, where you can ascend the old town’s castle and absorb views that speak of a history beyond mere words.

The tour continues to Berat, known for its 'Town of a Thousand Windows', where you'll walk through a town steeped in Ottoman architecture and venture into its castle. Driving along the Albanian Riviera offers a scenic route, including a stop at coastal wetlands in the Vjosë-Nartë Delta Protected Area. A hike through the mountains leads to a shepherd outpost near Tragjas, providing a glimpse into traditional life.

The tour closes with a chance to unwind on Corfu, combining time to explore the island’s streets on foot and moments by the sea. All travel between these destinations is arranged, with the emphasis on walking and local transportation under the guidance of a Chief Experience Officer but without conventional tours, allowing for moments of personal discovery within a shared small group.
