Albania - a cycling destination on the rise...

A country in Europe that is relatively unknown to tourists with elevated rides through mountain villages and along a scenic Ionian Sea coastline often with very little traffic. This may be one of the most memorable cycling tours ever, a circular route of the country of Albania between Greece and Macedonia – fully supported by English-speaking local guides and a back-up vehicle.

Discover Albania’s UNESCO heritage, natural coast, and mountain landscapes. See the city and citadel of Gjirokastër, the ancient ruins of Butrinti with views to Corfu, ride beside one of the deepest lakes in Europe, through pine forests and national parks.

Taste authentic Albanian cuisine, be it fresh caught seafood or mountain trout or salad and vegetables from the local farms. Accommodation to suit the location, from lake or beachside resort hotel rooms to city villas and mountain log cabins, all with bathrooms.

Bikes are well maintained and multi-geared, ideal for the terrain, with a pannier, repair kit and helmet provided. E-bikes will give the boost needed on some of the longer and more challenging rides. A support van and trailer will accompany the riders with fresh water and repairs or a rest from riding.

Cycling in South Africa - what you said:

"Thanks once again for organising this beautiful holiday. Lizelle and Wendel make this trip unbelievable. The food which is homemade is delicious and plentiful. Wendel has a lifetime of experience which he shares in a friendly manner. Accommodation is really comfortable after a day of cycling.

The cycling is quite challenging so if in doubt grab an electric bike." Kerri
