Travel story
Damp soil and clear stones
Words that vanished into the sound of water
Return once more, deep inside my ear
-
On this journey, we pass through the mountains of Albania and Montenegro, and finally head to Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Away from the bustle of cities, we drop by village kitchens and spend time listening to the water in the gorges.
What you encounter while traveling are not only rocky and green landscapes, but also people's gazes and differences in language. As you touch what is rooted in those lands and cross borders, the itinerary sketches a quiet composition unlike ordinary tourism.
Signature points
Set experiential activities that make use of the natural environment
We incorporate activities that use the terrain, such as kayaking, rafting, and hiking, at various locations.
The itinerary focuses on moving your body within the landscape rather than visiting tourist facilities.
Visit multiple countries while crossing small towns and villages
The itinerary is built around towns and villages with local character rather than tourist cities, spanning Albania, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It includes experiences that pass through multiple cultural areas rather than staying within a single country.
Itinerary structured to ensure free time at each stay
Including consecutive nights in towns and villages, the schedule is adjusted to avoid being rushed by sightseeing and travel.
There is room to decide for yourself what to do in each place, allowing you to spend time according to personal 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.
