MATTEALE SPECIAL ALBANIAN ADVENTURE

4-Day Unique Experience · Kruja · Berat · Gjirokastra · Wine Tasting · Italian-hosted

A 4-day unique Albanian adventure through UNESCO sites — guided by two Italians living in Albania, offering an authentic and personal perspective on this extraordinary country. Combines cultural exploration with a special wine tasting experience and dinners at some of the most beloved restaurants in Albania.

🏰 Day 1 — Tirana – Kruja We depart together from Tirana Airport at around 12:30, heading to Kruja — the first capital of Albania. We immerse ourselves in the characteristic alleyways and traditional markets. You can try your first traditional Albanian lunch, and the afternoon is dedicated to exploring the city at your own pace. Kruja is the city of Skanderbeg — you can visit the museum dedicated to him or the Ethnographic Museum. We return to Tirana for hotel check-in and the Welcome Dinner — at one of the guide's favorite restaurants in Tirana.

🍷 Day 2 — Berat – Wine Tasting At 09:00 we depart toward Berat — a UNESCO World Heritage city. We arrive at 11:30 and visit the castle with its charming local restaurants for lunch, then visit the King's Mosque and the old town. After hotel check-in, at 19:30–20:00 we enjoy the wine tasting evening — 3 different types of wine paired with traditional local products and raki, followed by dinner at the same location.

🏛️ Day 3 — Gjirokastra UNESCO Site At 09:00 we depart toward Gjirokastra — another UNESCO World Heritage city. We visit the city and castle and enjoy lunch with traditional products completely different from those tasted so far. At 16:00 we depart back toward Berat for dinner at one of the guide's most beloved places — a restaurant with 300 years of history, once a family home.

🌆 Day 4 — Berat – Tirana At 10:00 we depart from Berat toward Tirana to discover the capital. We visit Bunkart 2, the Blloku neighborhood, Skanderbeg Square, the Pyramid, and Et'hem Bey Mosque. From there we head to the airport — but not before a wonderful farewell lunch together. This is not goodbye but see you soon — until the next journey of discovering Albania as you have never seen it before!
