Albania

Much maligned, even Michael Palin found it hard to say a good word about Tirana, Albania is a revelation.

Rich in Roman archaeological and Ottoman architectural sites, maintaining a wild and rugged natural landscape and a beautiful coastline, there’s an honesty to Albania lost in other more touristed Mediterranean countries.

Considering its position at the heart of the Mediterranean, Albania remains surprisingly lesser-explored. The country boasts a stunning landscape consisting of some of the region’s finest beaches, wild and rugged mountains, and idyllic valleys and forests. Also known as the ‘land of the two-headed eagle’, a holiday to Albania will enthral those who seek to discover its hidden archaeological treasures, ancient towns, and bask in the welcome of its delightful people.

Feedback from our Travellers

  • Bledi our guide was excellent. Looked after us, made recommendations based on our interests and kept us up to date on our daily visits. Comfortable car and our guide drove very well. Probably for the first time in our travels we had a trip that we could not fault in terms of guide, accommodation and planning. Well done.

  • Undiscovered Destinations specialises in individual and small group tours to destinations which are interesting and off the beaten track. We went with a private guide/driver who was a fount of knowledge about his country. We loved the beautiful scenery. Albania has everything: mountains, lakes, and stunning beaches. Prices for accommodation and food are reasonable, and best of all it is not crowded - yet!

  • We had a fantastic time touring the length and breadth of Albania. Despite Covid it actually felt like we were doing normal things for the first time in a long time! Amazing scenery, ancient towns and ruins, fabulous hotels and food and so cheap - we can't believe Albania isn't on more people's radar. This is the 2nd time we've travelled with Undiscovered Destinations and both times they've offered full flexibility in terms of changing dates. On this occasion we also switched to a different tour & country only a month beforehand - we were originally booked to go to Lebanon in 2020 and postponed to 2021, but we were offered full flexibility with our plans (go, postpone again, refund or book something else). Knowledgeable & helpful staff and great value for money. Highly recommend.
