Adventure Travel Circle – Albania Encompassed
12 days | 4th – 15th October | £2,495 per person
Blessed with some of the Adriatic’s wildest landscapes as well as arguably some of the continent’s least developed tourism infrastructure, Albania remains one of the most fascinating and least well-known countries in Europe with a rich heritage which can trace its influences back to the Illyrians, Macedonians, Greeks, Romans and Ottoman Turks.
During our journey we will soak up the dramatic landscapes of the northern Valbonë Valley and the coastal charms of the ‘Albanian Riviera’, explore the famed Ottoman-influenced UNESCO towns of Gjirokastër and Berat as visit the fascinating ancient ruins of Butrint, located in the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site of Butrint National Park, and standing as one of the most atmospheric archaeological sites anywhere in Europe.
Combining cultural visits with some stunning day-walks as well as opportunities for wine-tasting and learning about local trades and traditions, this is an incredibly varied trip offering a rare insight into this often overlooked corner of the continent.
