Albanian Riviera & Highlands

Overview

Tucked between Greece and Montenegro, Albania is one of Europe’s most underrated destinations for cycling and adventure travel. On this Albania bike tour, you’ll ride through quiet mountain roads, along the unspoiled Albanian Riviera, and into stone towns where life moves at an easy pace. The scenery is dramatic, from the Vjosa River Valley and the climb over the Llogara Pass to the turquoise waters of the Ionian Coast, but it’s the people who leave the lasting impression. Albanians are welcoming, open, and quick to share their time, making even remote villages feel familiar. What makes this journey unique is how it connects Albania’s highlights: UNESCO World Heritage sites like Gjirokastër and Butrint, Ottoman towns, ancient ruins, natural wonders such as the Blue Eye Spring, and trails that lead to hidden beaches of the Riviera. Albania may not be on every traveler’s radar yet, and that’s exactly what makes riding here so rewarding! This tour is best suited for cyclists with a moderate level of fitness and some experience riding in hilly or mountainous terrain. Days average 30–55 miles (50–90 km), with climbs that can be long but manageable, especially with an e-bike. Support is available on guided and supported tours, so riders can take breaks or opt out of tougher sections if needed. Self-guided: Perfect for independent travelers who want the freedom to ride at their own pace with the confidence of a well-planned route. Requires a minimum of 4 participants. Self-guided with support: Designed for friends, couples, or families who prefer a more flexible and personal experience. A dedicated support driver accompanies the group throughout the tour, assisting with logistics, daily briefings, and luggage. Available for groups of 2 - 6 participants. Please inquire about dates.
