How to use this itinerary
Albania is compact, but mountain roads are slower than they look on the map. Build in buffer time, especially on the Riviera in peak summer and in the Alps where weather can change quickly. Book accommodation ahead in July and August, and confirm bus and ferry schedules locally before relying on them.
Each stop links to a dedicated destination guide with what to see, where to stay and how long to allow.
