The base for the entire trip will be the seaside city of Durrës, which is a great starting point for exploring the surrounding area. Today's schedule depends on your arrival time.

A trip to Bovilla Lake is one of the most beautiful natural experiences near Tirana. Tirana is a vibrant and colorful capital city of Albania that surprises with its energy and the contrast between modern and historical architecture. 

A beach day awaits you in the Durrës Plazh area, where you can just relax, go for a swim, or enjoy a stroll along the promenade. The schedule is completely open, providing the perfect space for recharging and enjoying the laid-back vibe of a seaside town.

You can tailor this day to your own mood and preferences. Two distinct yet equally powerful full-day trip options await you. The first is a trip to Ohrid Lake, one of the Balkans' most beautiful lakes, offering a historic town, a peaceful atmosphere, and scenery among the most picturesque in the region. The second option is a journey to the south of Albania, where you'll find some of the most stunning beaches and viewpoints in areas like Dhermi, Sarandë, or Ksamil, along with turquoise seas, hidden coves, and a relaxed Mediterranean vibe. Whichever you choose, both directions offer a completely different perspective on Albania, from quiet mountain landscapes to a beach paradise just a stone's throw from Corfu.

After a few days full of experiences, it's time to say goodbye to Albania. Since Tirana airport is about 30 minutes from Durrës, you don't have to leave too early and can still fully enjoy your last morning by the sea. If your flight time allows, treat yourself to one last swim or take a stroll along the beach. It's a nice way to wrap up a long weekend. Simply drop off your car at the airport and head home. Perhaps you'll already be thinking about which part of Albania to discover next during your journey.
