In the summer of 2018 we planned a trip with 6 classic cars in Albania, a destination not often thought of.
Our guide Ben welcomed us at the border and was of great help with the paper work: almost no delay what so ever. The first day we toured in the northern mountain part and it was immediately clear that this country displays an exceptionally beautiful landscape. The local communities offered us a very warm welcome and we felt almost at home right away. The following days we travelled from north to south along very scenic roads. The Albanian riviera is absolutely stunning. On some roads you have the sea at one side and snow capped mountains (in summertime!) at the ohter side which is quite remarkable. On our way we visited the two cities Gjirokaster and Berat who are of an exceptional beauty and are rightfully classified as World Heritage Site. It is not possible to visit a country without knowing anything about history, politics and social life of the Albanian people. Thanks to our ever present and active guide Ben we were teached about all this aspects and this made the trip even moren unforgettable.
This European country is a hidden pearl, our guide Ben helped us a lot to discover it!
