Swap bustling Tirana for sprawling beaches and Adriatic views on this small-group tour to the Albanian Riviera. Travel the distance comfortably via air-conditioned vehicle, then dedicate a full day to swimming, sunbathing, and soaking up the views at two of the region’s best beaches. Lounger rental and lunch at a local restaurant are both included, so you can travel light with just your swimming costume, towel, and camera.

Vlore is a harbour city that holds special meaning for Albanians, as this is where the country declared its independence from the Ottoman Empire at the start of the 20th century. So you can take a whistle-stop tour of monuments and museums celebrating the statesman Ismail Qemali’s first government, and in doing so get to know a little more about what it means to be Albanian. If you’d like ideas for days trips the wider region is both untamed and beautiful.

This tour program offers an exclusive and unforgettable experience of visiting the beautiful Albanian Riviera. During this tour you will discover unexplored beaches, wild nature, lovely hidden pebble bays, crystal clear waters, isolated old churches and hidden caves used by pirates back in the days. We will leave the port at Vlora and start our boat tour adventure on the beautiful Adriatic and Ionian Sea. These two seas meet at this exact point. We will sail towards Sazani Island, a former military base during the communist era in Albania. This small island has only recently been opened for the general public and tourists, as until 2016 it was strictly restricted to get near it. Around noon, we will stop for lunch at Shën Vasili Bay (or any other bay you choose) and enjoy swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the two seas. After enjoying this unforgettable experience by the seaside, we drive back to Tirana in the late afternoon.
