By bike through Albania

1085 kilometers, 4 Unesco sites, 15 days. They are the route numbers on two wheels of one of the wildest and least known countries of Europe, Albania, and especially of its south.

Albania by bike, the most beautiful itineraries.

By bike you can leisurely make your way between wild lands, valleys, peaks, vineyards and ancient villages hanging on the slopes of the mountains one after the other, but also monasteries and castles overlooking the sea and historic cities, where time seems to have stopped and the rhythm is that of long ago.

From Tirana, two weeks of adventure

An adventure that starts and ends in the same place, in Tirana, the lively capital of the 'land of eagles', and continues in a circular fashion. Two weeks of travel, - advised by the creators of the newly inaugurated trip, - along south-eastern Albania, on the border with North Macedonia, by the oldest and deepest lake of the old continent and then along the last wild river in Europe, Vjosë, which is expected to be turned into a national park.

And then cities with thousands of years of history, part of the UNESCO world heritage list, archeological sites of inestimable value, pristine beaches, secret bays and castles overlooking the sea.

He advises this trip neither more nor less, but the 'New York Times': 'UNESCO Cycling Route' is actually on the list of 52 must-see destinations in 2023.

A unique opportunity to start this spring or early summer, visiting one of the last unexplored and authentic territories of Europe.

A slow bike ride, between villages with an ancient spirit, monasteries overlooking the sea, stone villages and old-time hospitality.
