Excursion Albania - Day trip from Ohrid

About this tour

Tuesday - Saturday

Pogradec - lively town on Lake Ohrid

The day trip Albania starts with a special border crossing at Sveti Naum, where you immediately feel the difference between northern Macedonia and Albania. We drive along Lake Ohrid towards Pogradec, a lively town right on the waterfront. Here you will enjoy a coffee break in the cosy centre and get a chance to taste local life and the mix of cultures.

Korça - discover the city of contrasts

From Pogradec, we travel about 40 kilometres inland to the well-known town of Korça. Here we take a short city walk past monuments and special squares and enjoy an authentic lunch in a local restaurant next to an imposing church. The rich history, colourful architecture and daily city life make Korça a real must-see during this day trip Albania.

Albania's pure countryside

After Korça, we head into the untouched Albanian countryside, where time seems to stand still. Here you will see how the friendly locals live as generations before them did. Tourism is virtually unknown here, giving you a unique insight into traditional village life. A special experience that makes this Albania excursion truly unforgettable.

Back through the natural beauty of Galičica National Park

On the way back, we drive via the beautiful Prespa region and cross Galičica National Park. Enjoy impressive views of Lake Ohrid and the mountains along the way. Around late afternoon, we arrive back in Ohrid - full of new impressions and stories.
