Overview

This tour is different because it puts a lot of focus on individual exploration. In other words, relaxing, not rushing or hurrying to follow an itinerary. More appropriately, relaxing without the need to follow any schedules, given the absence of time bound activities. These aspects make our tour different as this one is designed more for people who do not wish to adhere to strict travel plans and are more adventurous.

What To Expect

Kruja Bazaar

Vibrant culture stimulates the visiting senses at the Kruja Bazaar, which is the center of an Albanian town named after an ancient fortress. The traders' wooden stalls filled with traditional crafts, and the musical and dance shows, all leave the bazaar's patrons lost in stories and clans. Visiting the Kruja Bazaar is yet another trip where people do not merely shop. There is interaction with the sculptors, savouring the culinary offerings, and experiencing the proud heritage of a living society. Embroidered with fabric and forged of metal, this warm and bustling bazaar is conducive to everything Albanian horizontal through vertical dimensions, be it food, crafts, or the sounds themselves.
