About this trip
Albania spends a decade under the radar despite a history and landscape that easily match its more famous neighbours. This trip takes you through the layers of that history, from Roman and Byzantine ruins to hilltop castles, alongside the everyday life of its modern cities.
You will move between UNESCO-listed sites and working towns, getting a sense of a country that is still being discovered rather than one shaped for tourists.
Expect a fully guided pace with a small group, and a warm welcome as standard.
What you'll do
- Explore the ancient Greek and Roman ruins at Butrint
