Albania Self Drive Tours

Drive Albania's coast in a GPS-equipped Dacia Sandero Stepway, stopping at UNESCO-listed Butrint National Park and Gjirokastra's medieval Old Town streets. Head through Llogara National Park for views over the Albanian Riviera, then spend time on Ksamil's beaches and check out the Blue Eye Spring.

You'll drive your rented 4x4 SUV on off-road routes from Theth Valley toward the Montenegrin border, passing mountain peaks above Valbona Valley and cruising along the Kosovo border on the way to Tirana. The self-guided route takes you to Bovilla Lake, up Mount Chestnut for views near Bajram Curri, and through Skanderbeg Square in central Tirana. Local experts are on hand daily 9am-6pm, with round-the-clock emergency help and audio tips based on your location.

Drive yourself through Albania from Tirana to Saranda with GPS that's already loaded with your hotels and a backup agent on call if you need help. You'll check out UNESCO sites like the ancient ruins at Butrint National Park and walk through Gjirokastra's old Ottoman stone houses in the castle quarter. There's hiking to the Blue Eye near Theth and swimming in Nderlysaj's pools, then later you can relax in the Benje Thermal Pools under Permet's Kadiu Bridge.

Drive through UNESCO-listed Berat's historic Mangalem district with its iconic 1000 windows, then cruise along the Ionian coast to Ksamil's turquoise bays. Head from Durrës' Venetian Tower past the Byzantine Forum with unlimited mileage and comprehensive insurance included. Wind through mountain roads to check out ancient Butrint's amphitheater overlooking the lagoon, all at your own pace in your selected rental car.
