Arrival – Himare

Welcome to Albania! We meet in Tirana (airport or city), where you receive the materials (roadbook, maps, GPS unit, SIM-Card) and a briefing on the upcoming days. The extended drive South to the Albanian Riviera passes the Vjosa River, salt pans of the Narta Lagoon and above the Bay of Vlore with coastal vista before reaching the Llogara tunnel. On its other end, the sun-kissed Albanian Riviera awaits and a winding road takes you through the charming Mediterranean villages to the small seaside city Himare. A hotel by the sea will be your base for the upcoming five nights, from where you will transfer for daily hikes to the picturesque pebble beaches and the idyllic villages of the Ionian Coast.
