Germenj – Leskovik – Benja – Gjirokaster

Ride from Gërmenj towards Leskovik and descend into the Vjosa Valley. Continue towards the warm pools at Benja, which lie beside Lengarica Canyon beneath an Ottoman stone bridge.

There is time to bathe in the pools before the planned transfer to Gjirokastër. The stage can be shortened by around 6.5 km and 150 m of ascent using the supplied route option.

The night is spent in a hotel in Gjirokastër’s old town.
