After pick up from airport, accommodation at the hotel. It is very close to the center of Tirana where you can visit few attractions. Free to walk.

In the evening, a small briefing as everybody can meet each other and few words about the tour.

We will start our adventure into Albania. Departure from Tirana through mountain road, remote area, nature, and wild to one of the biggest waterfall near Tirana highland. Rafting through Drini river with its rapids and surrounded by natural landscapes will surely provide adventure. Spending the first night at an altitude of 1800m sounds breathtaking, especially with the opportunity to sleep under the stars in tents. Just be sure to keep an eye out for any furry friends who may be curious about our journey. 😊 😊

Exploring Albania off-road allows you to discover hidden gems and experience the country in a unique way. Driving on the footprint of Via Egnatia, the path for a broader purpose: to connect people. Sleeping near one of Europe's deepest and oldest lakes would provide a picturesque backdrop for your adventure. Meeting new friends along the way would add to the excitement and create lasting memories. Enjoying local food prepared by a skilled chef would give you a taste of the authentic Albanian cuisine, and gathering around a fire while sipping drinks would create a cozy and memorable atmosphere. All the essential elements for an incredible journey!

Waking up to the aroma of a freshly brewed coffee sounds like a great way to start the day!
Driving along panoramic road will offer you views with stunning landscapes as you make your way towards the border with Greece. This scenic route will provide opportunities for those who like photography. In addition to the vinery near the campsite, the presence of a hot spring will provide relaxation and rejuvenation. It is the perfect way to soak up the therapeutic benefits of the mineral-rich waters. The thermal water contains chlorine-sodium-calcium substances and its temperature is between 23 and 32 °C. Enjoy the views, indulge in local wines, relax in the hot spring, and immerse yourself in the wilderness of the last wildest river in Europe. 

Vjosa, the last wild river in Europe will accompany us during the major part of the day. For sure, taking a refreshing swim in the river is a great way to cool off and relax. We will drive in remote high altitude paths of Zagoria region. It is time to visit Gjirokaster, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Gjirokaster is a historic city known for its well-preserved Ottoman-era architecture and cobblestone streets.
Gjirokaster is also famous for its imposing castle, perched on a hilltop overlooking the city, known for its lively bazaar, where you can find traditional crafts, handmade souvenirs, and local delicacies.

The clear blue water spring of The Blue Eye can be seen from a depth of more than fifty meters and it is still unclear what the actual depth of the karst hole is. It is time to indulge in some natural beauty and relaxation. Finding a remote beach where you can enjoy the sound of the waves, stand up paddle to explore the remote Riviera, the warmth of a bonfire, and the sparkling night sky filled with stars sounds like the perfect way to unwind.

Nivica canyon has been described as Albania’s longest and most beautiful canyon ‘by far’ and some explorers claim it could be longest canyon in Europe. 

Visiting the Internment Camp of Tepelene adds a layer of historical significance to your journey. This camp served as a place of imprisonment for convicts, fugitives, and deserters during the communist era. 

The Castle of Tepelene, rebuilt in 1820, holds great cultural and historical value. It was used as the second residence of Ali Pasha Tepelena, an influential Albanian ruler who served as the Ottoman pasha of the Pashalik of Yanina. 
From the natural beauty of Nivica Canyon to the stories of the internment camp and the architectural marvel of the Tepelene Castle, your journey will be enriched with diverse experiences.

This is our last day of the adventure. Exploring the ancient city of Berat, also known as the "One Over One Windows" city, is a fantastic idea. With its rich history spanning over 2400 years, Berat is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers cultural and architectural wonders to discover.
Testing local wines is a must-do activity while in Albania, and Berat is no exception. The region is known for its vineyards and produces some excellent wines.
And finally, why not end your adventurous day by the riverside, enjoying sweet dreams in the tranquil surroundings? Falling asleep to the sound of flowing water and being surrounded by nature.

As you start your day after a hearty breakfast and getting all your bags packed and ready, it is time for those final farewells and goodbyes. These last moments before you embark on your journey can be filled with a mix of emotions – anticipation for what lies ahead, nostalgia for what you are leaving behind, and perhaps a touch of nervous excitement for the adventures to come.

Take a moment to cherish the people you are saying goodbye to, whether it is a quick hug, a warm smile, or a heartfelt conversation. These goodbyes are not just parting words; they are a reflection of the connections you share with those around you, the memories you have created together, and the promise of reunion in the future.

As you exchange those final words and hugs, remember to carry with you the love and warmth of these moments throughout your journey. Let them inspire and guide you as you step into the unknown, ready to embrace new experiences and write new chapters in the story of your life.

So, savor these last greetings, hold them close to your heart, and let them fuel your spirit as you set off on your next adventure. And remember, goodbyes are not forever; they are simply until we meet again.
