Almost every Albania plan fails the same way: too many regions and not enough respect for the roads. The method, the realistic drive times, and where to cut.
A week-long route through the Albanian north: Shkoder and its lake, the Koman ferry, the Valbona valley and Theth, with where to sleep each night and how the pieces connect.
Three or four days is enough for one region done properly and not enough for the country. Which single region to pick, how to lose the least time, and what to leave out.
A honest three days in Saranda and Ksamil: a day by day plan for beaches, Butrint at dawn, quiet coves, and the five mistakes that swallow a short trip in Albania.
A ready-made 4-day Albanian Riviera itinerary: the Llogara pass, stylish Dhërmi, hidden Gjipe, easygoing Himarë, a boat day, and the turquoise islands of Ksamil, planned day by day.
A loop from Tirana down the coast over a mountain pass, along the Riviera to the Greek border, inland to a stone city and back through the hills.
