Day 1: Welcome to Tirana – Between Memory and Modernity
As you arrive in Albania's vibrant capital, you're welcomed by a city where East meets West, tradition blends with transformation, and the past speaks from every corner.
We begin our journey through Tirana's beating heart – walking along the tree-lined Boulevard Deshmoret e Kombit, where historic buildings stand side by side with sleek modern architecture.
A visit to the Pyramid of Tirana, once a communist symbol, now reborn as a creative and cultural space, offers insight into Albania's evolving identity.
Dive deeper into Albania's complex past with a guided visit to Bunk'Art 2, a former Cold War bunker turned museum of memory. Here, chilling stories of surveillance and dictatorship come to life beneath the city streets.
You'll also enjoy the lively atmosphere of Skanderbeg Square, the colorful buildings around it, and the rhythm of Tirana's people.
Overnight in Tirana. Dinner included.
Day 2: Berat – The City of a Thousand Windows & Flavors of the Land
After breakfast, we travel to the UNESCO World Heritage city of Berat, one of the jewels of Albania.
Here, time stands still. We walk through the cobbled streets of Mangalem and Gorica, two quarters facing each other across the Osum River, united by a beautiful bridge and a timeless soul.
We visit the majestic Berat Castle, still inhabited, where centuries-old stone houses whisper stories of Ottoman and Byzantine days. Inside the castle walls, we explore the enchanting Onufri Museum, home to dazzling icons painted by the master of color himself.
You will be invited into a traditional Berat house, where you'll taste homemade raki and strong Albanian coffee – hospitality as pure as the landscape.
In the afternoon, we head into the rolling hills outside the city for an unforgettable wine tasting experience, where you'll sample rich Albanian wines and enjoy a dinner made from local ingredients – a feast of flavors and stories.
Overnight in Berat. All meals included.
Day 3: Durres & Kruja – Stories of Empires and Resistance
This morning we journey to the coastal city of Durrës, Albania's ancient port and one of the oldest cities in the country.
We explore the mighty Roman Amphitheater, a majestic ruin that once held 20,000 spectators and still echoes with the roar of gladiators and the whispers of centuries.
After a short break by the sea, we travel to Kruja, the proud hometown of Albania's national hero Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg.
We wander through the charming Ottoman bazaar, full of handmade crafts, carpets, silver, and souvenirs.
At the Skanderbeg Castle and Museum, we learn about the courageous resistance against the Ottoman Empire and the legacy of a hero who still inspires Albanians today.
In the afternoon, we return to Tirana with hearts full of memories and minds enriched by stories both ancient and new.
