Exploring Albania By Bicycle

Views to Write Home About

There’s plenty to see while cycling through this gem of a country. And for such a small sized nation, Albania really has it all. From the remote, snow capped mountains in the north, to the glittering Mediterranean beaches along the coast, and the terraced hillside olive orchards in between. Most of the geography boasts beautifully untouched scenery, with views so gorgeous, you’ll wonder why you’re the only one there to admire it.

Untouched Local Culture

One of the last undiscovered destinations in the world, and truly within Europe, Albania has emerged from decades of self-imposed isolation after the fall of communism still clutching its well-preserved heritage. The many archaeological sites and architectural gems tell tales of the country’s Roman, Ottoman, and Soviet history. But the quaint agrarian villages steal your heart with their old world charm.

The perfect crossroads of history, culture, stunning scenery and amazing food. Biking was the perfect way to see this undiscovered gem.
