After a comfortable and pleasant flight, we arrive in Tirana at 08:40 local time and go through customs. Our private vehicle awaits to start the city tour. In this beautiful city, rich in history and culture, we will explore Tirana, recognized as the center of Bektashism in Europe. We will visit the most important symbols of the city, starting with the Ethem Bey Mosque, built beginning in 1789 and completed in 1923, which is considered a cultural heritage of Albania. We will have a brief stop at Skanderbeg Square, where the Skanderbeg statue proudly stands in the center. We also see the Clock Tower of Tirana, built in 1821 by Ethem Bey. This tour will combine Tirana’s modern face with its historical background, providing unforgettable memories. After some free time, we begin our journey to Montenegro, one of the youngest countries and a jewel of the Adriatic. Upon arrival in Budva, we start a city tour. Walking through the old town, we will see the stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, medieval streets, small shops, and restaurants of Budva’s Old Town (Stari Grad). After the tour, we transfer to our hotel and spend the night there.
