Itinéraire du groupe
Land in Tirana and a private transfer drops you at your boutique hotel. Take some time to rest, then meet your Soca Islands Host and the group for a welcome drink at the hotel.
Tonight gets hands-on straight away with a cooking class. You'll learn to make Albania's savory pies and tave kosi, the national dish of baked lamb and yogurt, while getting to know your fellow travelers.
Start with a rush on a zipline billed as the longest in the Balkans, flying over green countryside with the 6th-century Petrela Castle in view.
From there it's on to Berat, a UNESCO World Heritage city known for its white Ottoman houses. Explore Berat Castle and walk up to the Gorica viewpoint for a look across the town and the Osum River.
The evening ends with a traditional welcome at a local guesthouse garden: homemade raki, fruit preserves and Turkish coffee.
The Osum Canyon was carved over some 3 million years, and today you get to know it up close. A guide leads you along the canyon, with time to swim in clear pools and take in the waterfalls and sculpted rock.
Back in Berat, you'll enjoy a private tasting of Albanian wines, which are starting to win international attention. The rest of the afternoon is free to wander the old town.
This morning you visit Butrint, the country's largest and most important archaeological park, where ruins stretch back more than 2,500 years.
Next comes a hands-on stop at Butrint lagoon to forage for its well-known blue mussels, followed by a meal of dishes made with them.
Then the road climbs over the Llogara Pass, with alpine meadows above and the coast far below, to a peaceful mountain retreat in Llogara National Park for the night.
Today belongs to the sea. A private speedboat runs you along the Albanian Riviera to secluded beaches and swimming spots in startlingly clear water.
After the boat day you head back to Tirana for a final traditional dinner together, raising a glass to the week.
After breakfast, transfer to Tirana International Airport for your flight home, with plenty of stories from one of Europe's least-known destinations.

FAQ du voyage
Fly into and out of Tirana International Airport Nënë Tereza (TIA).
Yes. If you arrive on Day 1 of your adventure or book pre-tour accommodation with us, your airport arrival transfer is included. If you choose alternative pre-tour accommodation or arrive by another mode of transport, you’ll need to arrange your own arrival transfer.
Our arrival transfers are private to Soca Islands and are organised in groups based on flight times. Sometimes this means a short wait at the airport until other flights arrive.
There are no scheduled activities on the final day, so feel free to book your departure at your own convenience.
We recommend arriving before 3 pm on Day 1 to make it in time for the welcome event. But don’t worry no matter when you land, we’ll have an airport transfer ready for you.
Please Refer to your government’s travel advice or consult your local consulate. Remember, passport and visa requirements can change, so make sure to stay updated.
Excluding alcohol, we suggest budgeting around USD $40.00 per day for extras.
While we’re not medical professionals, we want to help you prepare for a safe and healthy adventure. Here are some tips:
- Consult with a healthcare professional: Schedule an appointment with your travel nurse or doctor at least eight weeks before your adventure to get any necessary vaccines or medications.
- Up-to-date medical advice:
- US residents: Check the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
- UK residents: Visit the NHS Fit For Travel website.
- Australian residents: Refer to the Smart Traveler Health website.
3. Government travel advice:
- US residents: Consult the US Department of State Travel Advice.
- UK residents: Check the FCDO Travel Advice.
- Australian residents: Visit the Smart Traveler website.
4. Medication tips: If you take prescription medication, bring enough to last the entire trip, plus a few extra days in case of delays. Carry a copy of your prescription in case you need to visit a clinic abroad.
We hope this helps you prepare for a safe and enjoyable adventure.
Please keep in mind that our itinerary, activities, and hotels might change. These adjustments could happen with little notice due to factors like availability, weather conditions, seasonal shifts, or other circumstances beyond our control. Rest assured, we always aim to minimise any impact on your experience. Occasionally, we may tweak the itinerary to try out fresh ideas and keep the adventure exciting.
We believe solo travelers shouldn’t have to pay extra to explore the world. That’s why our group trips are designed around shared accommodation and do not include a single supplement. Solo travelers joining our group trips are paired in twin or multi-share rooms with another traveler of the same sex for the duration of the trip.
Some of our Independent trips are structured differently. For these itineraries, solo travelers will need to book at the single occupancy rate.
Tips are not included in the cost of this tour. Remember, tipping is entirely at your discretion and based on what you feel comfortable with.
