Itinerário dia a dia
The tour begins in Tirana with a morning departure toward the historic town of Kruja, once the stronghold of Albania’s national hero, Skanderbeg. Visit the Kruja Castle and explore the Old Bazaar, a charming, cobbled street lined with traditional shops offering handicrafts, carpets, and antiques. After lunch, continue the journey north to Shkodra, a city rich in cultural and historical heritage. Upon arrival, settle into a boutique hotel near the Gjuhadol neighborhood. Later, take part in an orientation workshop to meet fellow travelers, learn about the tour values—community respect, cultural preservation, low-impact travel—and prepare for the days ahead. The day concludes with a welcome dinner featuring local cuisine.
