Route 10 daagse Groepsrondreis RCGS: Highlights of Albania with John Geiger
Our Royal Canadian Geographical Society (RCGS) tour series pairs amazing Explorers with amazing Adventures. Some say that visiting Albania is as close as you’ll get to travelling back in time. It wasn’t until the collapse of the People’s Socialist Republic of Albania in 1991 that the world got its first glimpse of the country within. You’ll get a firsthand look at this previously isolated country accompanied by internationally bestselling author, renowned lecturer, and CEO of the RCGS, John Geiger. John has been featured on countless television and radio programs and documentary films such as Nat Geo’s ‘The Angel Affect’, and PBS’ ‘Arctic Ghost Ship’, so you can be sure he has plenty of stories to share throughout your 10-day adventure.Huge snow-capped mountains, inviting beaches, pretty rural villages, a genuine subsistence culture and an exceptionally friendly welcome is what awaits anyone who makes the journey to this much unknown gem. From the artist havens of Voskopoje, and the sweeping panoramic views of the Gramos Mountains to forgotten ancient Greek sites in Llogora National Park and the narrow cobbled streets of UNESCO-listed Berat, each day is packed with new adventures. See a different side of life at a local farm and taste local produce, taste your way through Permet which is famous for its food and wine, follow in the footsteps of Julius Caesar at the site where his battles against Pompeii were won, visit crumbling castles in Korce, and so much more.
