Kosovo & Macedonia Adventure: Tirana to Pristina - Albania

Venture off the beaten path on this eight-day European adventure through Albania, North Macedonia, and Kosovo — three hidden gems packed with history, flavour, and untold stories. Wander through centuries-old architecture that weaves a tale of resilience and progress, indulge in local delicacies that will surprise and delight, and sip your way through ancient wine traditions that have stood the test of time. Along the way, connect with locals, bond with fellow travellers, and experience a side of Europe most never see. This isn’t your typical Euro trip — it’s something bolder, richer, and completely unforgettable.
