- the last mystery of Europe! - that’s what they call it because until 2006 this country was absolutely closed to everyone, but since 2006 it has been opened to tourists.

The excursion will begin in the morning around 6-7 am. Even if you are not staying in Budva, we will take you along the entire coast, thereby you will admire the coast. Don't forget to take comfortable shoes, Panama hats and be sure to have a passport!!!, since this is an excursion to another country and you will go through customs control between Montenegro and Albania. The road passes through the coastal mountains and coastline. We pass by the villages of Sveti Stefan, Petrovac and Bar straight to the border.

Albania is the undiscovered pearl of tourist Europe, because we know too little about Albania, and unfortunately, due to inaccurate information, a negative prejudice could have formed about this unusual country. A country of long deserted beaches, ancient ancient settlements, noisy oriental bazaars, modern cities and archaic villages, where you can often meet residents dressed in national costumes.

20 minutes after the Albanian border, a stop awaits us in one of the most important and ancient cities of this land - Skadar (Shkoder).

This is one of the oldest and most famous cities Albania, founded in the 4th century BC, has a rich historical and cultural heritage and is one of the main cities in the north of the country. Sightseeing tour of the city with a guide, after which you will have the opportunity to see the bunkers that Enver Hoxha ordered to build in the amount of more than 750 thousand (1 bunker for 4 Halbanians) to protect his state in case of capture from the outside.

Above the city there is an old fortress 2400 years old, and a very sad legend about its foundation has been passed down from generation to generation for more than 2 centuries. Three brothers built the walls of the palace, but everything that was built in a day collapsed overnight. One day, passing by, a wise man said: “You will never build this palace unless you sacrifice a girl to it.” The brothers decided to sacrifice one of their wives. She was supposed to be the one who brought them lunch the next day. When the time came, the younger brother’s wife, Rozafa, brought food; it is her name that this palace now bears. Rozafa agreed to sacrifice herself, but on one condition - because... she had a baby, she asked to wall herself up not completely, but so that she could still feed the child with one breast. And so they did. They say that milk is still dripping down the walls of the castle...

Next we head to Tirana - the capital of Albania, founded in 1614 by the local feudal lord Suleiman Bargini.

We get to the city center along the most colorful street. The houses on it are painted in red, blue, orange, green, and represent a creative solution to the transformation of the city by the new mayor, Eddie Rama, who was inspired to do this after many years of living in Paris. Important cultural attractions are the ensemble of Skanderberg Square, the bank, the university, the building of the Opera and Ballet Theater, the Museum of Archeology and Ethnography, the Museum of the National Liberation Struggle and the Museum of Natural History.

Every second car in Albania is a Mercedes! According to an incomprehensible logic, for Albanians Mercedes is the only real car! You can even see gold Mercedes here! A most interesting people with their own customs and habits!

We will have sightseeing with a guide, free time for lunch, a walk and shopping.

Numerous photo stops and a lunch break are planned throughout the route.

We return back around 19:00.
