Bitola - Florina (Greece) - Ioannina (Greece) - Parga (Greece) - Igoumenitsa (Greece) - Sarandë (Butrint, National Park “Blue Eyes”, Ksamil, Himarë) - Metsovo - Bitola

This three-day tour takes you from the heart of Bitola to the sparkling shores of the Albanian Riviera, passing through some of the most scenic parts of northern Greece along the way.

The journey begins with a guided tour of Bitola’s landmarks, including the Clock Tower, Old Bazaar, religious monuments, and the ancient city of Heraclea Lyncestis. Once you’ve had your historical introduction, the tour heads south toward the Greek border, stopping first in Florina and then continuing through the lakeside city of Ioannina and the picturesque harbor town of Parga.

The road to the sea leads next to Igoumenitsa, a quiet coastal port where you can pause for a relaxed seaside coffee or lunch. Crossing into Albania, the landscape shifts as you arrive in Sarandë, the central hub of the Albanian Riviera. Here, you’ll stay overnight in a private sea-view apartment, allowing time to enjoy the evening light, fresh seafood, and coastal atmosphere.

The next morning begins with a visit to Butrint, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that contains Greek, Roman, and Byzantine ruins nestled between forest and lagoon. From there, it’s a short ride to the “Blue Eye,” a natural spring with vibrant turquoise water so clear and cold it feels almost surreal. If weather permits, there’s time for a quick swim or photo stop.

On the way back, the tour climbs through the mountain town of Metsovo, known for its stone-built charm, smoked cheese, and winding alpine roads. The drive offers wide views and a peaceful end to a cross-border journey rich in culture, history, and natural beauty.

This exclusive tour is perfect for travelers looking to explore beyond borders in comfort, with a blend of coastal relaxation, historical depth, and scenic mountain drives. Passport required.
