Classic Albania - Land of the Eagle
£1,197 per person*
A diverse history and vibrant traditions are on full display across Albania’s Adriatic treasures.
Experience the rich religious and cultural heritage of one of Europe’s most overlooked treasures, Albania. From the country's expansive history, complete with a wide variety of Ottoman landmarks and archaeological sites, to natural wonders, you’ll find no shortage of sights to see throughout a tour of the Adriatic coast, still largely untouched by mass tourism. As you take in Albania’s classical monuments, you’ll also find a vibrant and unique modern culture thriving within its cities, with artistic expression taking centre stage. Keep an eye out for colourful murals lining the walls of communist-era landmarks as you wander the cities and enjoy the innovative galleries and installations that have sprouted from Enver Hoxha’s former ‘mushroom’ bunkers since the turn of the century.
Explore a city of contrasts in the beautiful capital, Tirana, where medieval landmarks meet busy modern thoroughfares. Krujër and Skhodër offer glimpses into the legendary history of Albania’s national hero, Skanderbeg, while coastal cities Vlorë and Sarandë promise breath-taking views of the Adriatic amongst their bustling beachfronts. Archaeological sites in UNESCO-listed Butrint and Apollonia sheds light on Albania’s colourful heritage with ruins once home to the ancient Greeks and the Roman empire. Stops in historic Gijirokastra and Berat, known as the ‘City of a Thousand Windows’, complete this tour and provide unique insight into native traditions and the vibrant multi-cultural heritage of this Adriatic gem.
