Discovery, at a thoughtful pace.
Two neighbouring countries, one easygoing group holiday. This proposed route begins in Tirana and Berat, continues north past Shkodër and crosses into Montenegro for slower days around the Bay of Kotor.
It is a broader group holiday without a scholar programme – a chance to discover the Balkans together, with guided time and plenty of independent exploring.
