Tailor-made Albania holidays
Good things happen when we travel
Uncover Albania on a unique tailor-made holiday
One of the fewer European destinations still untouched by the mass tourism, Albania instantly wins you over with its spectacular nature, fortress-like old towns and warmth of the local people. The food is simple but oh so delicious, the wine is cheap and aplenty, and there’s no shortage of activities whether you’re a seasoned hiker, a renowned foodie or an acclaimed beach bum.
Our Albania experts are here to help you choose the places and experiences that fit your bill and show off the best of Albania, from safari-style glamping in the mountains, to kayaking over mirror-like turquoise lakes, to dipping into North Macedonia for a day or spending the evening cooking local delicacies with a local family.
Pick your itinerary or build your own
All our Albania holidays are flexible and can be tailored to your needs. They include small-scale local accommodation, car hire (or car and driver if you’re not too keen on navigating Albanian roads yourself) and activities. To inspire you and give you some ideas, we’ve created a selection of itineraries to choose from, and if you like more flexibility, you can easily build your own adventure using our unique bite-sized trips.
To get started, pick your favourites and send them our way, or simply get in touch for a little expert help.

“Albania is one of Europe’s last remaining “hidden gems”, although it’s not hard to see why it’s slowly growing in popularity. Albania has stolen my heart from the very first encounter, and ever since my first visited I’ve been urging everyone I know to visit this incredible country. From the incredible mountains in the north, to the stunning beaches along the Riviera and all the fascinating history in between, it’s a great option for those looking for a unique adventure without flying long-haul!”
