After breakfast, the bikes are loaded onto a local car for a short drive to the Muzina pass. From here, enjoy a thrilling downhill ride towards the Ionian coast. Stop to visit the “Blue Eye,” a mesmerizing karst spring set in lush, jungle-like surroundings.

After a winding descent, the road flattens as you cycle alongside the Bistrica River. Continue through quiet farmland roads toward Butrint, with views of the lake and citrus groves. Cross the narrow channel to the UNESCO-listed site of Butrint by a rustic ferry, and explore this ancient city’s Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman ruins.

Enjoy a seafood lunch in Ksamil and take a swim to the nearby islands. Finally, cycle the last stretch o your hotel in the seaside town of Saranda.
