Journey from Zagreb to Tirana through Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania on a small-group adventure of national parks, island ferries, local food experiences and historic towns. Stay in small, locally run hotels, with start/finish in larger city hotels; standards and facilities vary, rooms and bathrooms are often compact with thin walls, and some properties lack elevators, air-conditioning, or English-speaking staff. Expect clean, safe, simple accommodation in central locations; fans usually available on hot nights.
