Albania

Europe's Best-Kept Secret

Albania bike tours

Visiting Albania can feel like traveling back in time. It is one of Europe’s best kept – and maybe last – secrets...

Be wowed by Albania’s diverse landscapes – from its snow-capped mountains to its deep forests and inviting beaches. Find tranquility in seeing the country’s untouched, centuries-old traditions – Albania remains relatively undiscovered by mass tourism, setting it apart from other destinations.

  • What makes Albania a great destination for a bike tour?

    Albania is a relatively undiscovered biking gem. Much of the countryside remains free of traffic – ideal for peaceful cycling. Cyclists can discover a beautiful variety of landscapes within short biking distance from each other.

    The Albanian Riviera is renowned for its stunning coastal routes. The northern Alps provide challenging climbs and adrenaline-pumping descents.

  • When is the best time to take a bike tour in Albania?

    The best time to take a bike tour in Albania is spring or early autumn, when the weather is mild, the landscapes are green, and the roads are quiet. 

  • Are Albania bike tours suitable for beginners?

    The Albanian Riviera and southern Albania are suitable for beginner cyclists, with quiet coastal roads and rolling countryside. E-bikes and van support add confidence for first-time riders.

    The Albanian Alps to the north are better suited to more experienced cyclists.

“From donkey-pulled carts, goatherds in the road, young boys greeting us, fields of crops, flowers, magnificent mountain views, wonderful seacoast panoramas and visits to UNESCO world heritage sites, we are totally convinced bicycle tourism in Albania is the way to go.”
—Anne and Bob B., Redmond, Oregon
