Albania & the Balkans Trek reviews

The trek crossed some beautiful and interesting countryside and mountain passes, staying in comfortable accommodation with excellent local food. Passing through three different countries in one week we learned a lot about an area with a rich, but often troubled history. All the walks were within the abilities of our group, especially with some stretches of road or track being covered by minibuses (which were interesting rides in themselves!). The final two days of the trek were curtailed because of unseasonable heavy snow, but our guide (Semir) organised alternative accommodation in Kosovo and visits to two beautiful monasteries and to Prizren.

The scenery was amazing and changed throughout each days walk - from the high limestone peaks to beautiful beech woods and the rocky pools. The food was plentiful reflecting the generous nature of the people we came into contact with, the local cuisine was interesting and delicious. The walking was quite tough in places but we were rewarded with huge views which made the effort worthwhile.

Exploring an area which is a melting pot of grandiose landscapes, warm and welcoming people, culture, politics and religion. The route undertaken would have been excellent if we had managed to complete the final 2 days in the mountains. But because of heavy snowfall and the (correct) decision by our excellent guide Samir, we enjoyed 2 days of culture instead.
