    Ana

    Asked on November 14th, 2025

    Does the tour end in Hisme? We were considering extending the trip on either end to include a few days on the sea. Would it be possible to stay longer in the south of Albania? Would you recommend a beach area closer to Tirane?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Alb ExpeditionsOperatorWritten November 2025

      This tour ends the cycling days in Himare. You can extend the trip before or after. Himare is a very nice small coastal town to stay and to spend extra days. We will charge you for the extra night stay if you book the hotel with us (80€ per night per double/twin room, breakfast included), and you pay for your own meals. Places to visit and to bike in Himare include Livadh beach, Dhermi beach, Porto Palermo beach, Qeparo Old town.

      If I book the bike tour, can I add on the stays after? Or would I need to have it all planned out at booking?

    • Alb ExpeditionsOperatorWritten November 2025

      You can book the tour to secure the places, and later you can choose your stays. We will be very flexible.
