Travel story
Damp earth and clear stones
Words that were lost amid the sound of water
Return once more to the back of my ear
—
On this journey, you pass through the mountains of Albania and Montenegro, ending in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Away from the bustle of cities, you stop by village kitchens and spend time listening to the water in the valleys.
Along the way you encounter not only landscapes of rock and green but also different gazes and languages. Touching what is rooted in each place as you cross borders creates an intimate unfolding that is different from mere sightseeing.
Signature points
Set up experiential activities that make the most of the natural environment
We incorporate activities that make use of the terrain, such as kayaking, rafting, and hiking, in various places.
The itinerary focuses on moving your body within the landscape rather than in tourist facilities.
Visit multiple countries while crossing small towns and villages
The itinerary is organized around towns and villages with regional character rather than tourist cities, spanning Albania, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It includes experiences that pass through multiple cultural areas rather than staying in just one country.
Structure that secures free time at each place of stay
Including consecutive nights in cities and villages, the schedule is adjusted so you are not rushed by sightseeing and travel.
You have room to decide what to do in each place yourself, allowing you to spend time according to your individual interests.

In Tirana, the capital of Albania, visitors can experience a striking contrast between remnants of the communist era and the city's rapid recent development. The cityscape is characterized by brightly painted buildings, lively public squares, and unique architectural styles.
Located in the city center, BUNK'ART 2 is a former nuclear bunker built for the Ministry of Interior, now transformed into a museum. It offers a sobering look into the dark chapters of Albania's 20th-century history, including the secret police surveillance system and political imprisonment.
