Day 1: Skopje (N. Macedonia) – Pristina (Kosovo) – Prizren – Tirane (Albania)
Begin your tour with a pick-up from your hotel in Skopje. Meet your tour leader and head towards the capital of Kosovo, Pristina. Visit the Newborn monument, a symbol of the independence and being a young new country. Walk towards the main boulevard in the capital.
Prizren has played an important role in the region as an Illyrian settlement and a crossroad for the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, contributing to the unique architecture of the city. The river flows through the heart of the old town and under the many bridges that crisscross the city.
Explore the town by wandering through the streets passing by elegant medieval houses that fight for your attention. Filigree artisanal techniques for precious metals are Prizren’s joy and pride. The view from the fortress on the hill above the town offers a great panorama of this astonishing town. After walking through the history, drive towards Albania. Overnight in Tirana.
Day 2: Tirana – Ohrid (N. Macedonia) - Skopje
Start your day by discovering Tirana, the capital of Albania. Walk towards Skanderbeg Square, named after the Albanian national hero Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu. The main square is surrounded by the National Museum, the Bank of Albania, the Opera house, Skanderbeg Statue, Ethem Beu Mosque, and fancy bars. After strolling around the bustling streets of Tirana, visit BUNKART, one of the most interesting museums in Tirana. Initially designed as a nuclear bunker offering shelter to the Albanian communist supreme leader Enver Hoxha and his close party members during the cold war.
Continue towards Tirana Castle, found in the city center. The castle is now a pedestrian street where modern and tradition perfectly merge creating one of the fanciest areas of modern Tirana. Your last attraction for this tour will be the colorful, lively, and vibrant Blloku Neighborhood. After strolling around the bustling streets of Tirana, drive towards Ohrid, N. Macedonia, one of the most seductive destinations in N. Macedonia, indicated as one of the oldest human settlements in all of Europe. Ohrid Lake and its surroundings where inhabited by the Illyrian Tribe of Enkeleys. The Lake was named by the Romans as “Lyhnidas” (the Light Lake).
