Additional Information

In a single day, we offer an immersive experience into the rich culture and scenic landscapes of Albania and Greece. We’ll journey through the splendid towns of Korca in Albania and Kastoria in Greece, each unique in their own way.

We begin our adventure with the charming town of Korca, a growing modern hub in Albania with evident remnants of its communist isolation. Our itinerary includes visiting the Museum of Medieval Art, hosting an exquisite collection of preserved medieval artifacts from the region. Post exploring Korca, we steer our way to Greece, landing in the town of Kastoria. Nestled by the Orestiada Lake, Kastoria grants picturesque views of pelicans and cormorants gracefully swimming, often escorted by cozy cafes and restaurants lining the lake. A tour to the famous Cave of the Dragon is also on the cards. Weather permitting, our return journey will pass through the stunning Galichica National Park.
