Albania Travel Blog

A UK Traveller’s Guide to Albania

Our Albania Travel Blog is a great resource for you to answer all those questions you have about travel to Albania – plus questions you hadn’t thought of!!
Remember, we are the UK’s first specialist operator to the UK, creating beautiful trips since 2013! We are based in the UK but all our team have lived in Albania for a number of years – before it appeared on most people’s travel radar. So we know it better than anyone. We only work with trusted local suppliers to ensure that they are supported and help tourism in Albania grow sustainably – with the added security of dealing with a UK based company.

Our advice is genuinely independent. We are not connected with any area or supplier in Albania. We just want you to have the best trip possible – and our Albania Travel Blog is designed to help you achieve that!
If you have a question not covered here – just ask us. Send us a note from our Get in touch page or send us a message from Facebook or Instagram and we’ll answer it and put a post together for you if we think everyone would appreciate the info!!
