A great travel experience thoroughly enjoyed the trip, very informative guide, Edjon, great food and people.
Lober Berat, lovely historic town and also the blue eye
See above very good, always recommended great places to eat.
Fairly long drives on windy roads, take precautions if you need to.
Every day on this trip brings new insight into Albania. Just when you think you have begun to understand the people and their country you learn or see something new which changes your opinion again. Our group of 14 (3 couples and the rest singles) set off on our adventure from the moment the plane landed, so be prepared this is a busy trip, but not too energetic.
Starting the trip with small historic churches, onto prehistoric remains, recently abandoned communist villages, ancient civilisations and modern european style towns the trip has too many highlights to list. Add to this the magnificent sea views, wide open plains and snow topped mountains the countryside is equally fascinating.
Erion our leader and Goshi our driver were both highly professional, but also good fun guys. Noting was too much trouble.
Hotels vary through the trip from basic to modern or quaint. Food is mainly meat on the bone or fish (seaside/lakeside) with salads, grilled veg and potatoes. Often the food is served in bits e.g. salad, then meat, then veg, so this can be confusing. Raki is the local drink and "Raki O Clock" seemed to occur several times a day at the request of our tour group.
It was more than a holiday. It was an adventure. So exciting to visit a country that is still emerging but accessible enough to explore so much of. Itinerary was full and varied but not exhausting. Gradual ‘feed’ of information from our own guide and others on route reinforced by visits to sites. Group size sensibly restricted. Living out of a suitcase not as daunting as expected as this enabled us to see so much more. Enough time allotted for most places except might have been better to have had more time in Berat and a brief stop in Durres.
The inside of Orthodox churches especially in Voskopoja. The stunning mountains which went on and on. A brief chat with a local resident in the market in Permet who was so keen to talk but we had so little time.
Erion could not have been better! He fed us with a lot of information but this was gradual. His anecdotes were amusing. A delightful sense of humour too. The frequent check-ins were handled efficiently and swiftly by him. Apparently relaxed yet very efficient.
Get there as quickly as you can before Albania is westernised! As yet there is no McDonalds but a KFC has already reached Tirana.
I really enjoyed this trip to this little visited country. It is so little visited we hardly saw any other tourists on our travels. It is correctly graded as a leisurely trip as there is no strenuous activity, but it is certainly a busy one with lots to see. The Albanian people are very friendly and welcoming. We saw stunning scenery and ate wonderful home grown food.
Enjoying the wonderful hospitality from an Albanian family in the tiny village of Dhoksat, where we ate their home grown and produced vegetables, cheese and wine. I also loved Butrint, even though we visited it in a spectacular thunderstorm and ended up wet through.
Our group leader, Erion Puca, was very good indeed. His historical knowledge was excellent and he went out of his way to ensure that all our particular interests were covered. Our driver Timi was superb and deserves a memtion too.
If you travel outside the height of summer, waterproof jacket is essential. Take an umbrella too, those of us who had one during our Butrint thunderstorm fared better. In restaurants it is normal for side dishes and salads to arrive before the meat, fish or main vegetable. It took us a while to work this out. There are lots of ATMs but Albania is a cash economy and I didn't see anywhere outside Tirana where a credit card was accepted. However, compared with other destinations, apart from Kruja there isn't much in the way of traditional handicrafts to buy. The airport currency exchange office surprised us by telling us to exchange money somewhere else as their own rate was awful! On the downside, Albania certainly has a problem with litter, stray dogs and bad driving, but it is all part of seeing somewhere different.
