ITINERARY

Day 1: Rooftop Welcome in Tirana: Perfect for Solo Travelers

Activities

  • Private airport pickup & hotel check-in
  • Welcome rooftop dinner with city views
  • Ice-breaker mixer & first raki toast
    Description:
    Touch down in Tirana and roll straight into good vibes. After check-in, we meet on a rooftop as the capital lights up, music low, views high, conversation easy. Your host sets the tone with simple ice-breakers and a first raki toast. By the end of dinner, names stick, shoulders drop, and solo travelers start to feel like teammates for the adventures ahead.

  • Tirana city highlights & New Bazaar tasting
  • Dajti Ekspres cable car & mountaintop BBQ
  • Interactive Albanian Night (music & dance)
    Description:
    Start with Tirana’s essentials, Skanderbeg Square, Et’hem Bey Mosque, the color-splashed boulevards, plus a taste stop at the New Bazaar. Then glide up Dajti Mountain by cable car for a laid-back BBQ with skyline views (you can even help grill). After sunset, we dive into an Albanian Night, live music, dancing and a playful crash course in local traditions that’s impossible not to smile through.

Activities

  • Guided walk in Mangalem & Gorica quarters
  • Berat Castle & Onufri icons
  • Raki & sweets tasting with live music
    Description:
    Berat feels like a film set, white-windowed houses stacked over the river, stone lanes curling up to a living fortress. We explore both historic quarters, step inside the castle and admire Onufri’s gilded icons. As the sky turns pink, we gather for raki pairings and local desserts to the sound of live music, light, melodic and made for lingering conversation.

Accommodation in Berat Option 1 (Can be change upon request)

Activities

  • Artisan wood-carving workshop (make your own souvenir)
  • Scenic horse ride in the Drino Valley
  • Live UNESCO polyphonic singing show
    Description:
    Down in the “Stone City,” we meet a master carver and learn by doing, everyone makes a small keepsake to carry home. A gentle horse ride opens up the valley’s big views, with the castle watching from above. After dinner, the room hushes for polyphonic singing, layered voices that feel ancient and electric at once. Rooftop cocktails afterward, purely optional… but tempting.

Accommodation in Gjirokastra Option 1 (Can be change upon request)

Activities

  • Soak at Benja thermal pools & Katiu Bridge
  • Optional white-water rafting on the Vjosa
  • Gliko (fruit preserve) workshop with locals
    Description:
    It’s a wellness-meets-wow kind of day in Permet. Warm mineral pools steam beneath a stone bridge, and the wild Vjosa offers optional rafting for thrill-seekers. In town, local ladies welcome us into their kitchen for gliko, slow-simmered fruit “gems” and easy storytelling. Back in Gjirokastra, we keep it mellow with a casual dinner and a fun, low-stakes group game.

Accommodation in Gjirokastra Option 1 (Can be change upon request)

Activities

  • The Blue Eye spring (photo stop & short walk)
  • Guided tour of UNESCO Butrint
  • Dinner with live music at Lekursi Castle
    Description:
    We chase color today, from the Blue Eye’s surreal turquoise to Butrint’s green-ringed ruins where Greeks, Romans and Venetians left their marks. By evening, Saranda unfolds below as we dine at Lekursi Castle, live music in the air and Corfu twinkling across the water. It’s an easy, feel-good night, perfect for swapping stories across the table.

Accommodation in Saranda Option 1 (Can be change upon request)

Activities

  • Private boat to secluded beaches (Kroreza, Lukova)
  • Swim & chill session with music onboard
  • Hands-on seafood cooking class & dinner
    Description:
    Our private boat skims over glassy water to beaches you can only reach by sea. Swim, sun, float, repeat, music on, phones down. Back in Saranda, we team up in a kitchen for a cheerful cooking class, market-fresh seafood, bright salads, a sip of white wine. Dinner is the reward we share and it tastes even better because solo travelers made it together.

 

Accommodation in Saranda Option 1 (Can be change upon request)

Activities

  • Explore Porto Palermo Castle
  • Beach time in Himara
  • Sunset cocktails & chill DJ set
    Description:
    The coastal road north is pure postcard. We stop at Ali Pasha’s triangular fortress, then roll into Himara, a sandy bay with a relaxed, bohemian beat. Check in, hit the water, nap in the shade… your choice. As the day cools, we regroup for a beach-bar sunset session: great playlists, easy conversation and golden light that flatters every photo.

Accommodation in Himara Option 1 (Can be change upon request)

Activities

  • Dhermi beach time (optional SUP/kayak to Gjipe)
  • Cliff-path mini-walk & swim
  • Beach bonfire & stargazing social
    Description:
    We hop to Dhermi for a bright, blue-on-blue beach day. Feeling active? Paddle a SUP or kayak toward Gjipe Canyon’s wild cove, feeling lazy? Claim a lounger and let the Ionian do its work. A short cliff-path walk rewards with a hidden swim spot. After dark, we circle a small beach fire, music low, stars high, and solo travelers connect in conversations that stretch in the best way.

Accommodation in Dhermi Option 1 (Can be change upon request)

Activities

  • Scenic drive over Llogara Pass (deer spotting)
  • Vlora Lungomare stroll & gelato stop
  • Tirana farewell party (rooftop or lounge)
    Description:
    Mountains drop to sea in a single sweeping view as we crest Llogara. Keep your eyes open for the park’s famously friendly deer. In Vlora we stretch our legs along the seaside promenade, grab a gelato and cruise north. Back in Tirana, it’s the finale: a relaxed farewell party with a DJ, clinking glasses and a last dance or two. Numbers exchanged. Plans made.

Accommodation in Tirana Option 1 (Can be change upon request)

Activities

  • Lazy late breakfast or café crawl
  • Airport transfer at your time
  • Post-trip group chat goes live
    Description:
    Sleep in or chase one last espresso at your favorite café, your call. Airport transfers run to your schedule and the trip group chat opens so the jokes, photos and plans keep flowing. You came solo, you leave with a crew and a country you’ll want to return to.
