Butrint National Park in Albania
Gjipe Beach in Albania
Berat in Albania
Curly Pelican in Albania
'Travel Bucket List' classics
  • The archeological site of Butrint is in a fantastic natural park; classified in UNESCO, home to several globally threatened species, rich in history.
  • Gjipe beach, hidden in picturesque coves and surrounded by the spectacular canyon.
  • Berat's best feature is the collection of white Ottoman houses climbing up the hill to its castle, earning it the title: 'Town of a 1000 Windows.'
  • Today, the Karavasta Lagoon contains about 5% of the world's population of the Curly Pelican, and yes, such a bird really exists!

Their commitment to responsible tourism

Sustainability in Albania
We work with small local businesses rather than internationally-run providers
As an agency we believe that tourism can be an economic developer without further damaging the culture or landscapes of the country visited.

We offer our travelers the best walking or trekking routes, as well as the possibility to spend the night in a guesthouse (or home stay) for a more authentic, local discovery of Albania. This helps keep more money in the local economy. We are also committed to certain 'green projects' such as development of tourism in the region of Rehove and Skanderbeg, and creating an eco-touristic route from Pellumbas to Qerret. See more

    The Pros :
    As this was a multiple country trip I was struggling to find a rental car that I could bring around. Going through Evaneos solved this problem. Furthermore we had generally well located hotels, not sure we could have found the right locations ourselves. The trip itself was stunning, hitting all the right spots, and required some active driving. All in all good fun.
    The Cons:
    Generally all hotels were good or better than good, we had 2 hotels however that were a bit on the simple side, I would have paid a bit more for a slightly better hotel. Also in 2 or 3 of the hotels there were challenges with reservations and payments that needed sorting out.

However we managed to see all we wanted to see. Starting in Tirana, we then drove up to Shkoder, crossed into Montenegro to Budva and Kotor. From there onwards to Bosnia where we visited Mostar and Sarajevo. We then moved back into Montenegro and Kosovo. From Peja we moved into Macedonia, saw Skopje and Ohrid and back into the southern part of Albania.See more

    We had 8 days travelling from Durres to do the highlights of the south west ...Butrint, Himara , Berat, Gjirokastër to name but a few. The itinerary prepared for us suited our requirements to a tee .
