A rollercoaster ride as the early morning mist is burnt off by the sun. We leave Sarande, climbing steeply to a rocky plateau.

We enjoy the stunning mountain scenery and then the coastal views before descending to the long beach and bay of Himare.

Thankfully, there’s plenty of time for a swim in the clear blue waters of the Albanian Riviera.

The ride to Vlore, 65 kms, is our most challenging day but also the most spectacular.

We gradually ride from sea level up to 1000 metres, with many hairpin bends. We are up amongst the clouds!!

Our Cycle Albania guided tour from Tirana back to Tirana included unforgettable landscapes, culinary delights and exciting insights into Albania’s rich history. We cycled 450 km and definitely appreciated the power provided by the eBikes on this mountainous adventure!!
