Day 1: Tirana - Zvernec - Llogara National Park-Himare

Our "Albanian Riviera Tour" begins early in the morning from Tirana and takes you on a thrilling getaway. Our first destination is Zvernec (Vlore), where we explore an island connected to the saline Narta lagoon by a wooden bridge. Take in the rich history of St. Mary's Monastery, a monastic retreat, and a medieval Byzantine church.

After passing through Vlora, we enter the picturesque Llogara National Park, where we enjoy a delicious supper that is typical of the area. We travel to the famous Porto Palermo Castle in the afternoon, which the Huffington Post named the top 15 Undiscovered European Destinations of 2014. Spend the night in the lovely Qeparo Village to round off the day.

Day 2: Boat Trip to Riviera Beaches

Enjoy an exquisite breakfast and breathtaking views as you begin your day, and let the beauty of the coast awaken you. Get ready for an incredible sailing adventure along the Albanian Riviera once you check out of the hotel.

We'll stop at some of the nicest beaches throughout the two-hour sail, such as Aquarium Bay, Gjipe Beach, Pigeon Cave, and a tour of the enigmatic Pirates Cave. The rest of the day is spent at leisure, with time to spare for swimming and tanning. Savor seafood specialties at nearby restaurants or try Greek cuisine during your optional lunch in Himara.

We head back to Tirana as the day comes to an end, capping up a day full of unforgettable experiences and breathtaking coastal wonders.
