Arrival – Kukes

Group transfer from Tirana/TIA departing at 15:00 at the latest.

Welcome to the Balkans! You can join the group transfer at Tirana’s city center at 14:00 or 40 min later on at Tirana Airport. Arriving later or from another location? Please inquire for a private transfer (e.g. from Prishtina Airport) so you can join the rest of the group in Kukes in the afternoon, just in time for the tour brief and dinner. Note that luggage is best stored in Tirana/Prishtina as the trip doesn’t return to Kukes.
Kukes is a small border town in north-eastern Albania, located at the confluence of Kosovo’s White and North Macedonia’s Black Drin Rivers. In a one of a kind case the city was nominated for welcoming and sheltering 450.000 Kosovar refugees in 1999 with the Nobel Prize. Views of the towering Mt. Gjallica (2.489 m) raise anticipation for the upcoming days.
