Discover one of Europe’s last untouched Mediterranean coastlines on this 8-day Albanian Coastal Trail through the dramatic landscapes of the Albanian Riviera and Llogara National Park. Between the turquoise Ionian Sea and the rugged Ceraunian Mountains rising above 2,000 meters, this journey blends coastal walking, mountain hiking, and authentic village life.

This guided hiking tour leads you along forgotten shepherd paths, olive terraces, citrus groves, and quiet coastal trails rarely reached by mainstream tourism. Each day reveals hidden beaches, historic stone villages, and panoramic viewpoints overlooking one of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful coastlines.

The journey gradually climbs from the Ionian coastline into the high alpine landscapes of Llogara National Park, where ancient pine forests and panoramic mountain ridges provide a dramatic finale.
