Historical Sites

  1. Butrint: Step back in time as you wander through the ancient ruins of Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Don't be surprised if you catch a glimpse of Julius Caesar lounging around (just kidding, he's not there... we think).
  2. Gjirokastër: Get lost in the maze-like streets of Gjirokastër, a well-preserved Ottoman town. Keep an eye out for Ali Pasha's ghost – he's rumored to still roam the cobblestone alleys.
  3. Berat: Admire Berat's magnificent Ottoman architecture, sometimes referred to as the "City of a Thousand Windows." Every window is said to have a tale to tell, or perhaps it's just your nosy neighbor watching you.

Natural Wonders

  1. Albanian Riviera: Take in the sunshine on these breathtaking beaches. You'll think you're in heaven with its golden dunes and crystal-clear seas, but remember to wear sunscreen to avoid appearing like a ripe tomato.
  2. Accursed Mountains: Put on your hiking boots and venture into the legendary Accursed Mountains, where stories from mythology come to life. We believe they are not genuinely cursed, so don't worry.

Cultural Experiences

  1. Music and Dance Festivals: Attend classic music and dance festivals to improve your groove. It's possible that you may pick up a few new moves, just be prepared to embarrass yourself in front of the locals  (it's all part of the fun!).
  2. Albanian Cuisine: Indulge your palate with cheesy treats like fërgesë and mouthwatering sweet pastries like baklava. Proceed with caution, since you can become seriously addicted to Albanian cuisine.

Off the Beaten Path

  2. Krujë: Step back in time in the charming village of Krujë, home to the historic Krujë Castle. Keep an eye out for ghosts of medieval warriors – or just friendly locals offering you a cup of coffee.
