Albania bike tours

Nestled in the heart of the Balkans, Albania’s coast is lined with sandy beaches and lapped by the Adriatic and Ionian seas. Inland, its rugged Alps and vast national parks remain relatively unexplored tourist destinations to tempt the discerning traveler. As the site of Illyrian, Greek, Roman, Ottoman, and Byzantine civilizations, Albania’s culture sits at a rich juncture between east and west, and there are myriad historic and archaeological sites throughout the country that attest to its long and varied history.

Visit the capital city of Tirana, where historic sites like Skanderbeg Square and Et'hem Bey Mosque stand in harmony with contemporary architecture, colorful buildings, and vibrant street art. The capital’s location also makes it an ideal base for bike tours to nearby attractions such as Mount Dajti. Discover the joy of downhill riding on a day tour that starts at the summit and follows paths down the mountain and towards the glittering Lake Farka. Or, take a bicycle tour that takes a scenic ride from Albania’s capital to its second city, Durres.
