Welcome to Albanian Trip

What we’re trying to do here is share our passion for travel and the Balkans with all of you! Albanians love the fact that tourists are starting to visit this relatively unspoiled gem in greater numbers. Stunning landscapes, exquisite cuisine, friendliness, interesting (and sometimes bizarre!) history, well-preserved archaeological sites, unique traditions and folklore, a stand-alone linguistic heritage and a proud people are just some of the things that make this country a must-visit destination!  It is still off the beaten path but has enough amenities to make it a…

A modest amount of more than 1000 pics from just the adventures of the last couple of years around Albania and the Balkans - quite a nice way to know more about us!
Here’s what some of our guests thought of us and Albania recently

A ‘cool’inary tour with Albanian Trip

Either  in one day, a weekend or several days and several parts of the region, will be more than able to offer a surprising experience of the Balkanic and Mediterranean  cuisine. Albania is specially rich in that and in only one day we’ll jump from chaotic bazaar restaurants to pieceful farms, fishermen cottages or very fine restaurants, elegant wines, fresh local beer and of course plenty of ‘magic’ local pride called Raki. Let us know what you’re most interested in and to find a bit more inspiration start from here.

Four day bird-watching tour

We’re organizing a four-day group tour to see Albania’s famous lagoons and we’ll mainly focus on bird-watching and nature! It is definitely designed for those with a love of the outdoors but we will indeed visit other points of interest that don’t have to do with birds or fauna. The group will aim to have a maximum of 12 participants and we’ll only run it if we will manage to have a minimum of 4 participants. Get in touch!
Please keep in mind that the itinerary will be flexible in order to allow for the best viewings!  We will have a more complete itinerary closer to the date but we do know where we’ll be staying each night.  From there we can make the best plans for you according to conditions and interests. The ones to help decide that will be our local ornithology specialists that we’ll hire to lead us through the best areas to visit for birds. This will make for a very fun trip!
We did this tour last year and were quite amazed by all the new things we learned and by the enthusiasm of our amazing friends from Karavasta, one of the most famous parks in Albania.
Albanian Trip and PPNEA are trying to promote the natural, historical and human beauties of Divjaka as well as trying to help local communities get stronger. Quite close to Tirana and Central Albania, this is a great place to visit – it’s the Kingdom of the Curly Pelican of Albania!
We have set a date for the tour and we’ve chosen it to be in peak of the newborn season when the activity in the lagoons among the resident bird communities is at its highest!
Please keep in mind that we also have a Day Trip we offer of bird watching.
Contact us for more information on the calendar of 2017 and 2018 group departures. Winter & Spring 2018 are expected to be offering a lot of birding activity in Albanian wetlands.
4 day group tours opened for bookings. Tours to start on :
December 16th 2017
January 05th 2018
January 21st 2018
We’ll be happy to discuss more departure dates during the season of Winter 2018 for the months of February, March and April too.
An extension to the tour can be definitely discussed for groups or individual tours. We’ll certainly be good at adding a bit of chilly from the best historical, artistic, culinary sides of Albania and the region.
