Itinerary Summary
Tirana, the Ottoman towns of Berat and Gjirokaster, the Riviera from Dhermi to Ksamil, Butrint, and the Theth to Valbona hike in the Alps
Important Considerations
Roads are improving but mountain routes are slow and driving is erratic. Cash is still needed outside cities. Ksamil and the Riviera are packed in July and August
