We will start our journey in Berat, a city with a rich history that dates back 2400 years. From Berat we will depart to the exotic canyons and waterfalls in Skrapar. Here you will experience Albania’s true beauty, where you can choose to go rafting through the Osumi canyon or explore all that the canyon has to offer, by hiking through it. The beauty of the Osumi canyon will allow your imagination to flow immersing you in its wonder and splendor. The walls of the canyon are littered with naturally forming sculptures, waterfalls, hollows, and much more that have formed over millions of years. Following the morning’s adventures, you will enjoy a traditional Albanian meal grown and sourced from the local Skrapar region.
After lunch we will ride along the mountains to the Vjosa River Përmet city. During your journey, you will be able to see and experience Albanian’s wild mountain landscapes, hills, lakes, villages, and wildlife. We will make a quick stop in Sevran, “the village of honey” to try the locally produced honey. We will end day one in Permët, with a traditional Albanian dinner.
We will begin our day by Rafting on the Vjosa River. This river is one of Europe’s last free-flowing rivers, and is classified as a class III rapid. Prepare for waves up to four feet and narrow passages that will send the boat shimmying and water gushing over the sides. Vjosa River’s 270km course is wild and untamed, adorned with beautiful canyons, braided river sections, islands and oxbows.
After rafting, we will enjoy lunch with local products followed by a visit to the thermal baths of Benjës. Warm water rushes from underground to these pools year round, providing a relaxing treat.
Following your relaxing deep in the baths prepare yourself for some off-road adventure. We will head back to Berat but from a different off the beaten path road by Safaris where you will get to see and experience a perfect untouched landscape,Vjosa river –Këlcyra-Ballaban-Tërpan –Berat.
Accommodation for the night and a dinner will be in Berat.Visit and wine tasting in Çobo Winery
Visit the Castle of Berat. Berat’s Castle dates from the 4th century, though most of the structure is from the 13th. It’s a schlep up the cobbled hill from the main highway, and the castle is a neighbourhood in itself. The very pleasure is in ambling through the narrow streets, clambering around the walls, and admiring the outlook from 360 viewpoints.
Depart to Tirana,the capital city of Albania. Located in the center of Albania is enclosed by mountains and hills.. Considered one of the safest cities in Europe you will be able to spot remnants of its past and traces of the fast changes that it has gone through. Departure to the airport.
