Tirane – Korca – Rehove

Transfer from Tirana towards Korçë, passing the Lake Ohrid region before reaching the south-eastern plateau. After the bicycle fitting, begin cycling across farmland beneath the Morava and Gramos mountains.

Continue through the Kolonja highlands towards Ersekë and the village of Rehovë. The route combines broad plateau roads with views towards the Greek border.

A shorter option reduces the stage by around 17 km and 360 m of ascent. The night is spent at village accommodation in Rehovë.
