Description

Albanian Riviera 3 Days Tour from Tirana, Durres & Golem Day 1: Our experienced tour guide will collect you from your hotel in Tirana to embark on an unforgettable journey along the Albanian Riviera. Our first stop is Saranda, renowned as the gem of the Riviera and often dubbed the unofficial capital of Albania, boasting a stunning natural bay on the Ionian Sea with picturesque views of Corfu Island. With over 300 days of sunshine annually, Saranda is a beloved destination for locals and tourists alike, known for its rocky beaches, scenic bays, lush flora and fauna, and thriving citrus plantations, olive groves, and vineyards. After a leisurely stroll along Saranda's promenade, we'll continue our adventure to Ksamil, a tropical paradise with its pristine white sandy beaches and captivating views of four nearby islands. Ksamil is celebrated as one of Europe's finest beach destinations, offering crystal-clear waters and an idyllic ambiance reminiscent of Bora Bora. Take the opportunity to swim in the turquoise sea and immerse yourself in the enchanting atmosphere before retiring for the night near the scenic Albanian Riviera. Day 2: As we journey along the scenic Albanian Riviera, we'll be treated to breathtaking views of some of the country's most stunning beaches, including Llamani, Dhermi, and Palasa. Passing through quaint seaside villages nestled against rocky cliffs, adorned with vine-covered stone walls, and adorned with fruit-laden fig and walnut trees, we'll witness the charm of coastal life in Albania. Our first stop is the picturesque town of Himara, nestled beneath majestic mountain peaks and surrounded by pristine beaches and glistening springs. Here, you can savor a leisurely stroll along the seaside promenade, indulge in delicious local cuisine influenced by neighboring Greece, and browse through handmade souvenirs while enjoying fresh fruit juices. Next, we'll make our way to Dhermi, renowned for its hidden coves, pebble beaches, and inviting crystal-clear waters. You'll have ample free time to soak up the sunshine and take a refreshing dip in the sea before retiring for the night near the enchanting Albanian Riviera. Day 3: Following breakfast, we'll embark on an exploration of Vlora, renowned for its mild climate and minimal rainfall, making it a sought-after destination year-round. Established in the 6th century BC as Aulona, Vlora holds historical significance as the site where Albania's independence was proclaimed on November 28, 1912, earning it the title 'City of the Flag.' Our tour includes visits to Flag's Square, Independence Monument, followed by a stroll through the Muradie Neighborhood, where we'll admire Vlore's main mosque, an architectural marvel dating back to 1537 and designated as an Albanian National Monument. Last visit in Narta Lagoon, after immersing ourselves in Vlora's rich heritage, we'll conclude our journey and return, leaving you with cherished memories and newfound enthusiasm to share with others.
