Overview

Join us on a private day tour through South Albania, where history, culture, and natural beauty come together in a fully personalised experience.

Begin with a scenic drive from Tirana to Gjirokastra, the UNESCO-listed “Stone City.” Explore its cobblestone streets, traditional houses, and the hilltop Gjirokastër Castle overlooking the Drino Valley at your own pace.

Next, visit the breathtaking Blue Eye, a deep turquoise pool surrounded by lush greenery—a true natural wonder.

Continue to Ksamil, a coastal paradise with crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches. Relax, swim, or enjoy a private lunch by the sea.

Finish the day with a scenic drive along the stunning Albanian Riviera, where mountains meet the Ionian Sea in dramatic fashion.

This private tour offers a perfect balance of culture, nature, and seaside beauty, all tailored to your pace and interests.
