Full description

Why not visit an extra country during your holiday? Until not so long ago, it was impossible to visit Albania because of a strict communistic regime. It was even called the “North Korea” of Europe. However nowadays, the country is liberated, you will have the opportunity to see the differences between the neighbors, North Macedonia and Albania. So, hop on, and trace the visible remains of the dictatorship that ruled Albania.

By bus or minivan, you will be brought to the city of Pogradec, where you will start with a coffee break. From here on, you will visit the local marketplace, the town park, the boulevard and statues. While walking our guide will provide cultural explanation about the patriarchal and modern differences in the Albanian culture. Afterwards we will further travel into Albania and visit Lin, to experience the true Albanian local way of living. Active yourself with a short walk in this ancient village and optional you will have the opportunity to walk until you explore the ancient roman basilica and the astonishing view around it. We highly recommend to do so! On the way back to Ohrid, the tour stops at the bunkers of Enver Hoxha, where you can make memorable pictures.

Interesting note: While making a whole lap around the lake of Ohrid, be aware how the colors of the water changes while driving.

Was een leuke tour, maar had wat meer activiteiten in gemogen. B.v bezoek aan kerk, uitgebreidere toernooi door een stad, fotomoment langs het meer etc.

The village of Lin is lovely, a little unspoilt hidden spot with amazing views if you climb the hill. Stroll through the streets, look between the houses for lake views, then get a drink at the hotel or local bars. Card isn't widely accepted and when it is, only for large amounts, you can use euros or local currency. Unfortunately, that's the highlight of the trip and it's all downhill from there. There is very little of interest in the next town we stopped at. The food and service at the lunch spot the rep took us to was also poor. There were long waits to get through the border and in our case, the coaches were poor too. We had to swap due to a malfunction on the first one but the second had issues with the microphone and then a loud banging coming from underneath. I wouldn't recommend this trip sadly. I can say I've circled the lake and ticked off another country but there are better ways to spend a day than this.
