Optimal number of participants is 10-15: upon request, we offer tours for one person, a couple or a family.
These tours and excursions offer unique and economic opportunities to support and sustain the small local businesses that are working to preserve and protect the Albanian natural treasures by sharing them with caring, respectful visitors.

15:00: The Monastery of Ardenice is an unforgettable must.
17:00: Once in Durres, a visit to the amphitheater, the archeological museum, and the very cosmopolitan city center will enliven your conversation over dinner at any one of the Pista restaurants. Sweet dreams!
