Albania

Exploring the Vibrant Culture and Natural Beauty

Albania is a small country in Eastern Europe that has impressive open lands, mountains with untouched forests, big lakes and towns that are UNESCO sites that have witnessed 1000s of years of human settlements. You get to cycle through traditional farmland, where farmers still herd sheep from the back of donkeys and with help of their friendly dogs. You can visit thermal baths that have been used for treatmens for centuries and visit the bazaar in towns that have restaurants with really good food.

You get to explore roads that pave the way for the first stages of the Giro d'Italia 2025 and see for yourself why Albania is a rising star as a cycling destination.
