Overview

Hiking South Albania is a 4-day cross-border mountain experience combining authentic village life, panoramic alpine hiking, Orthodox heritage, and the cultural elegance of Korçë. Departing from Thessaloniki, this tour explores the historic highland village of Voskopojë, known for its 18th-century churches and mountain landscapes. The journey continues with an inter-village hiking route to Vithkuq, followed by the ascent of Ostrovicë Peak (Maja e Faqekuqit) — one of the most dominant summits in Southeast Albania offering 360° panoramic views. The experience concludes in Korçë, Albania’s cultural capital, with a guided city tour, visit to the National Museum of Medieval Art, and a traditional serenade dinner evening. This tour is ideal for travelers seeking active exploration, authentic gastronomy, and meaningful cultural immersion in Southern Albania.
