Start your adventure in the historic town of Kruje, known for its market bazaar, the Kruje Castle, and the Skanderbeg Museum.
After breakfast, take a road trip to Shkoder- home to Rozafa Castle, a must-see historical site, and Lake Skadar National Park, where you can embark on an exciting kayaking adventure.
Today, you’ll explore the charming village of Theth, situated in the heart of the Albanian Alps. Trek through the stunning Theth National Park and discover the famous “Blue Eye,” a natural spring that boasts bright blue water.
Spend the day exploring the renowned Syri i Kalter (Blue Eye) nature reserve, located in the Theth National Park.
On day 5, you'll head to the North Albania Riviera where you can embark on different beach activities like snorkeling, sea kayaking, and kite surfing. Also, visit the Kuzum Baba, a historic landmark with a stunning panoramic view.
On your return to the Albanian capital, Tirana, walk through the colorful streets and visit the National History Museum, the Skanderbeg Square, and catch the sunset from the top of the Dajti Ekspres Cable Car.
It's time to say goodbye to Albania, a country of natural beauty and an adventurous spirit. We hope you had a great time exploring the best places in Albania.
Albania has a primitive transportation system with limited rail and air options, making it ideal for road trips. Expect to pay at least 50 EUR per day for a rental car or hire a taxi for long journeys. Keep in mind that Albania's road signage and conditions are unreliable, plan accordingly. Find travel times and distances between each location in the itinerary.
If you have additional time, consider visiting Berat to explore the historic castle, or enjoy a traditional meal in Korca. Add an extra day between Syri i Kalter Theth and North Albania Riviera to enjoy the Durmitor National Park. If you have shorter travel times, eliminate Shkoder from your itinerary.
The main international airport in Albania is Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza (TIA), located 30 minutes away from the city center of Tirana. When visiting the North Albania Riviera, consider Podgorica Airport in Montenegro (70km) as a possible alternative option.
