About this trip
This is a long overland journey across four countries, from Rome down through Italy, across the Adriatic into Albania, on through North Macedonia and into Greece. You travel with a dedicated tour leader and car throughout, rather than joining a large coach group, so the pace and feel stay personal.
Expect a mix of famous names and lesser-known stops: Rome and Naples, the drive along the Amalfi Coast, then Tirana, Ohrid, Berat, Gjirokaster and Kalabaka before finishing in Athens or Corfu. It's a lot of ground covered in two weeks, with history, coastline and city life all in the mix.
Given the semi-private setup, this suits people who want guided structure without a big-group bus tour feel.
