Albania
Albania is one of Europe's last great undiscovered cycling destinations, offering a stunning combination of Adriatic and Ionian coastline, dramatic mountain scenery, ancient ruins and a culture of extraordinary warmth and hospitality. Cycling in Albania means quiet roads, genuine local encounters and landscapes that few European tourists have yet discovered. The country's rapid development in recent years has brought improved roads and growing tourist infrastructure while maintaining the authentic character that makes it so compelling. From the beaches of the Albanian Riviera to the Ottoman old towns of Berat and Gjirokastër, cycling through Albania is an adventure that rewards the curious and the open-minded.Popular Cycling Routes in Albania
The Albanian Riviera offers spectacular coastal cycling along the Ionian Sea with turquoise water and traditional fishing villages. The route from Sarandë to Vlorë is one of the most scenic coastal rides in the Balkans. Inland, the Vjosa Valley follows one of Europe's last wild rivers through dramatic gorge scenery. UNESCO-listed Berat and Gjirokastër are essential cultural stops on any Albanian cycling tour.
