Your journey begins in Tirana, a capital that feels refreshingly unpolished yet full of character. You’ll spend time exploring Skanderbeg Square, the heart of the city, before diving into its past at places like Bunk’Art, a former Cold War bunker turned museum. There is a real sense of contrast here, with colourful buildings, busy cafés, and reminders of its communist history all sitting side by side.
-
Next, travel south to Gjirokastër, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its distinctive Ottoman architecture. The town climbs up a hillside beneath a vast fortress, and as you walk along its cobbled streets, you’ll pass traditional stone houses, small artisan shops, and quiet corners that feel unchanged for decades. It’s a slower pace here and a chance to take in everyday life while learning more about Albania’s past.
-
As the trip continues, you’ll visit Butrint, one of the most important archaeological sites in the Balkans. Set within a national park, this ancient city reveals layers of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine history as you explore its theatre, basilica, and city walls. There is something quite special about walking through ruins that are surrounded by water and woodland, where the setting adds just as much to the experience as the history itself.
-
Throughout the trip, you’ll stay in a selection of comfortable, locally run hotels that offer a relaxed and welcoming base. Rooms are well-equipped with everything you need after a day of exploring, and many properties include on-site restaurants or shared spaces where you can unwind.
