What to expect
Once known as the “North Korea of Europe,” Albania was closed off for decades under a strict communist regime. Today, it has opened its doors to the world—offering a fascinating contrast to its neighbor, North Macedonia. This unique day tour invites you to discover both the striking differences and surprising similarities between these two Balkan countries.Travel comfortably by bus or minibus as you enjoy a complete scenic tour around Lake Ohrid, one of the most beautiful lakes in Europe. Along the way, you'll stop at iconic and charming locations including the Bay of Bones, Pogradec, Lin, and Drilon.In Pogradec, enjoy free time to relax and have lunch at your own pace. In the picturesque village of Lin, take a coffee break and stroll through narrow streets lined with traditional houses. For those who wish, there is an optional walk to the ancient Roman basilica—highly recommended for history lovers and photographers alike.During the journey, you'll also spot the famous concrete communist-era bunkers, silent reminders of Albania's past, scattered across the landscape.
