Albania
Fairytale landscapes, pine forests and breathtaking panoramic views
Intro
More than two thirds of Albania is mountainous landscape making it ideal to discover on foot. Southern Albania walking routes run along the crystal waters of the Ionian Sea, up high ridges and panoramic peaks, through pine forests, olive and citrus groves, visiting monuments that narrate the rich history of the country.
In Northern Albania discover the fairy-tale landscapes of the Albanian Alps (or Accursed Mountains). Stay with villagers and discover their proud and vibrant culture and generous hospitality.
Cycling tours can also be arranged in either region and throughout Albania.

Raymond & Janet Sterling (USA) , Tailormade BalkansWe were looking for a land tour in the Balkans and contacted Travel The Unknown. The staff were very responsive in setting up a private tour schedule for us that proved to be perfect and reasonable in cost. We have just got back from our travels and can say that it was certainly a good choice The itinerary was varied and interesting and the accommodation well chosen. The quality and price of the food and wine in the region were an added bonus. Our drivers/guides were friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. They went out of their way to accommodation our interests and preference.s Highly recommended!
