Travelling to Albania in June: two ways to start summer by discovering the Balkans.
The Balkans hold some of the continent’s most spectacular landscapes, with a history and authenticity hard to find elsewhere. Departing on 23 June, we offer two trips to one of Europe’s least-known destinations. Albania.
Albania and Macedonia – 12 days of nature and culture
This departure, on 23 June-4 July 2026, is designed for those seeking a comprehensive, balanced view of the region. Over twelve days, we combine historic cities, mountain landscapes and the cultures of Albania and Macedonia. The trip takes us through northern valleys and traditional villages, as well as UNESCO World Heritage cities.
The route visits iconic places such as Berat and Gjirokastra, with their perfectly preserved Ottoman architecture, then continues towards Lake Ohrid, one of the Balkans’ great natural and cultural treasures. The walks are accessible, designed to let you enjoy the surroundings without technical demands, making this itinerary ideal for an active, balanced and comfortable trip.
An experience for travellers who want to understand Albania’s recent history, explore its communist past and Orthodox monasteries, and walk among green mountains and remote valleys where life moves at a different pace.
Albania, Montenegro and Kosovo – Trekking in the Dinaric Alps
For those seeking a more physically demanding alpine experience, the second departure, 23 June-2 July in 2026, offers a trek through the spectacular Dinaric Alps. Over ten days, we will explore some of Europe’s wildest and least-visited mountain landscapes, crossing natural borders between Albania, Montenegro and Kosovo.
An itinerary for lovers of hiking, challenging climbs and crossings between valleys and mountain passes. Nights in local homes and mountain refuges offer a chance to immerse yourself in the region’s rural life. Nature takes centre stage here: sharp peaks, deep forests, alpine meadows and endless panoramic views.
A more demanding option for those who want to immerse themselves in the mountains day after day and experience the effort and reward that only trekking can offer.
Albania and Macedonia or the Dinaric Alps: which should you choose?
Both departures share the same start date and the charm of a region that retains its authenticity. The difference lies in how you experience it. The Albania and Macedonia route combines culture, history and nature with moderate walks, while the Dinaric Alps trek is a more demanding mountain experience.
