  HIGHLIGHTS OF ALBANIA

  

  Written September 2012

  A 10 day trip travelling south in land and returning north along the coast.  This was a holiday with a different hotel every night therefore distances were quite high.  All but one of the hotels provided free wifi, which I thought was amazing.  The tour gave a good insight into the country and although the country has made tremendous strides in the last fifteen years there were still glimpses of former attitudes partcilarly when service was less than perfect. The weather through the ten days was superb - there was one shower of rain, if you blinked you missed it. Food was very good and instances of poor health was minimal. Albania is in initial stages of developing tourism for commercially there is very little to buy, therefore expenditure was roughly $20 a day and that was on food and drink. A thoroughly good trip

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  The guide book suggests that you will fall in love with butrint and it was certainly the most impressive of sites

  The new orthodox churches In Korca and Tirana when the group caught the end of service which really was inspiring

  the natural springs at Blue Eye and the frescoes on the churches in voskopoja

  What did you think of your group leader?

  ed was a enthusiast for the modern day Albania.  He was keen to offer choices to please the group but at times this lead to indecision.    Various ideas suggested were never followed through.   Neverthess his knoweldge of the country was very good although he tended to be fairly quiet on the bus.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Be prepared for long long breaks because food is cooked as we waited.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  The hotel moved from the beach area to Vloras created an inbalance in the trip

  the trip notes the guide had were not identitical to the trip notes provided by exodus which proved to be an ittitant rather than annoying.

  it quite clear that tour operators prefer Korja to airport rather than Tirano Airport on the last day

  the return flight arrives back at Gatwick after all public transport had ceased - good job the coffee shop was open all might.
