Gargantuan, snow-capped mountains, inviting beaches, pastoral rural villages, and an exceptionally friendly welcome await in Albania. Not until 1991, with the collapse of the People’s Socialist Republic of Albania, did the world get its first glimpse at the country within. This adventure will offer travellers a firsthand look at this previously isolated country accompanied by international bestselling author, dynamic lecturer, and CEO of the RCGS, John Geiger. Experience the diverse range of cultures and landscapes of Albania, from the artist havens in Voskopoje, sweeping panoramic views of the Gramos Mountains, ancient Greek sites in Llogara National Park, and the narrow cobbled streets of UNESCO-listed Berat. Relax and enjoy the famous food and wine of Permet, visit crumbling castles in Korce, and follow in the footsteps of Julius Caesar at the site where his battles against Pompeii were won. 10 days from $2464 CAD Departing July 5, 2022 |
