What to expect
We'll walk around the old town and have a cup of fresh coffee in one of amasing cafes there. Then we'll set off to reach the national park Llogara, located at the altitude of 1,000 meters above the sea. It'll take us about 50 min to get there.
There is a beautiful hotel where they tamed some wild deer which are not afraid of approaching people and eating from their hands. So, we'll feed some cute deer there and take lots of photos.
After feeding the deer, we also get hungry a bit. So, it's time to eat. A delicious breakfast is served in one of the cafes located at the top of the mountain. So, while eating we're going to enjoy a splendid view on the Ionic sea. After a hearty breakfast we set off to continue our trip to the south.
Porto Palermo
A stop for photo shooting in a picturesque bay with the castle of Ali Pasha. After that we'll go on travelling to the south.
Borsh Beach
A stop for taking memorable photos.
Borsh
We'll enjoy some refreshments at the café located straight in the waterfall. It's great to spend some time listening to the sounds of the waterfall.
Saranda is considered to be the southern gate of Albania, located near the border with Greece. That is why it reminds a Greek town with narrow cabbled streets, palm trees and flowers. I'll accompany you to the promenade, the most gorgeous street, where we'll spend some time exploring it. After that we'll go to Ksamil. It'll take us around 30 minutes.
Ksamil Beach
Ksamil is considered to be the Albanian Maldives, as there are some tiny islands in front of the beach and the sand is white. After a long jorney you'll have some time for swimming in the turquoise water. Besides, we may have lunch served in one of restaurants with a marvelous view on the sea.
It's one of the gems of Albania, a source of water with turquoise colour, in the shape of an eye. From the parking lot we can take an electric train or walk about 20 minutes to get there. We'll explore the site and drive to Gjirokaster.
After we exlore the Blue eye, we'll set out to Gjirokaster. It is a UNESCO heritage, one of the most beautiful cities in Albania. We'll wander along the Bazaar, buying souvenirs ang enjoying the sight of ancient buildings. After that we'll strart moving back to your hotel. The trip will take us around 4 hours.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
