FINAL SPACE female

To see other attendees on the trip, please check the following LINK

Discover one of Albania’s great gems - the coastline that extends along the Adriatic and Ionian sea. A dreamy mix of clear blue waters and pebbly beaches, untouched bays and caves waiting to be explored in our kayaks. Join us as we discover this unique blend of coastal shores, cliffs and walks on trails parallel to the Ionian sea with some beautiful panoramic views.

Hike the stunning coastal trail, visit the 100m deep Gjipe Bay canyon and swim in the bright blue waters of Albania. Get a close glimpse of a different pace of life and enjoy the famous Albanian hospitality and local traditions. Albania is still quieter than the dense tourist crowds of neighbouring Croatia, now is the perfect time to explore, before this gem becomes less "undiscovered".

HIGHLIGHTS

• Stay on the coast in Dhermi - the Albanian riviera
• Enjoy a gentle but scenic hike following the White Trail to the St. Andreas Bay and swim in the dazzling blue waters

• Spend a night in the vibrant capital Tirana
• A small group limited to just 16 with an English speaking local Albanian Guide

HOLIDAY DESCRIPTION

Nestled between the turquoise waters of Italy and northern Greece, Albania is a relatively undiscovered gem - think Croatia 10/20 years ago without the Croatian crowds. From pebble/sandy Mediterranean beaches to rugged mountains, cliffs and caves it offers a tranquil and diverse experience in nature. No need to compromise between a mountain or a beach holiday since this trip offers the best of both worlds. We enjoy the scenery beneath the green Ceraunian mountains or so called "thunder-split peaks" as we kayak through the stunning crystal waters from Dhermi to Gjipe Bay.

This trip provides a balance between tranquillity and adventure as we have planned some exciting and optional activities. Choose from bathing under the Albanian sun or hire out power boats or do other watersports on the coast. You can also self explore the area or just enjoy the beach and sea.

Driving - There is several hours each way to the coast and back, also some twisty mountain roads.
