What you can expect

Start your day with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Tirana. Hop aboard your comfortable vehicle and begin the scenic drive to
The Vjosa River, one of Europe’s last wild rivers, flows through breathtaking landscapes of untouched nature and dramatic valleys. With its crystal-clear waters and unspoiled surroundings, the Vjosa offers a peaceful and authentic experience far from mass tourism.

Nestled along the river, our next stop is Gjirokastër a beautiful historic city in southern Albania, known for its stone-roofed Ottoman-style houses, cobblestone streets, and mountain views. Often called the “City of Stone,” it has a unique charm and rich cultural heritage. We will have some time to spent & enjoy the Old Bazaar of Gjirokastër, a lively area with local crafts, traditional shops, and cosy cafés.

Together Gjirokastra with Vjosa River and Përmet create a unique destination that blends nature, culture, and relaxation—ideal for travellers seeking authenticity and unforgettable scenery.

Experience a truly unique side of Albania with an authentic food tasting inside a bunker. Once built for protection, these concrete structures now offer an unforgettable setting to enjoy traditional local flavours in a completely unexpected atmosphere.

This experience is not just about food—it’s about history, tradition, and discovering Albania from a different perspective, making it a highlight for travellers seeking something truly unique.

The highlight of our visit awaits at the Benja Natural Hot Baths, where you can indulge in a relaxing swim in the warm, mineral-rich waters, renowned for their therapeutic properties.

Afterwards, we'll venture into the breathtaking Permet Canyon, where towering cliffs and crystal-clear waters create a stunning backdrop for exploration. Marvel at the beauty of canyons such as Grunas and Langarica, as you immerse yourself in nature's wonders to continue the trip to , Kelcyra gorge, and some points of historical and artistic interest, such as Ottoman-era bridges (Kati Bridge).

Throughout the day, our knowledgeable guide will provide insights into the history, geology, and ecology of the region, enriching your experience with fascinating facts and stories.

As the day draws to a close, we'll make our way back to your accommodation, leaving you with cherished memories of an unforgettable day spent .
