If you're planning a trip to Greece, why not add North Macedonia and Albania 🇦🇱, located in the Balkan Peninsula, to your itinerary?
【Plan】
1. Skopje → Ohrid
2. Ohrid → Tirana
3. Tirana → Kruja → Tirana
4. Tirana → Berat
5. Berat → Saranda → Butrint → Saranda
6. Saranda → Gjirokastra
Traveling in the Balkan Peninsula mainly involves bus transportation. The accommodations are chosen in cities with good accessibility and plenty of lodging options.
【Skopje】A fascinating contrast between the old town and the new town
【Ohrid】A pearl-like town by Lake Ohrid, a UNESCO World Heritage site
【Tirana】A mysterious city that was isolated until 1990
【Kruja】Enjoy the view from Kruja Castle; the castle town is a treasure trove of handicrafts where you can shop affordably
【Berat】A UNESCO World Heritage site with beautiful Ottoman-era architecture, known as the "City of a Thousand Windows"
【Saranda】A resort town; you can also take a one-hour ferry to Corfu Island in Greece
【Butrint】A UNESCO World Heritage site featuring ancient Greek and Roman ruins
【Gjirokastra】A UNESCO World Heritage site with a unique stone-built town spreading below Gjirokastra Castle
Despite being in Europe, the low cost of living is another great advantage ♥
