Why go
Korçë & the Frescoes of Voskopojë
Korçë: first Albanian-language school in 1887, National Museum of Medieval Art, oldest brewery, the serenata. Voskopojë: in the 1700s one of the richest towns in the Balkans — sacked from 1769, frescoed basilicas still standing.
Korçë opened the first Albanian-language school in 1887. It holds the National Museum of Medieval Art — the Onufri collection — the country's oldest brewery, and the serenata tradition.
Voskopojë in the 1700s was one of the largest and richest towns in the Balkans, with an academy and one of the region's earliest printing presses. It was sacked repeatedly from 1769 and is now a quiet village whose frescoed basilicas survive.

Questions
Before you reserve
- Do I have to hike?
- No. Every stop on this route is reached by vehicle. If you want to walk, the driver waits — but nothing requires it.
- How do I pay?
- Cash on the day is cheapest. Card online includes a 20% charge for the processor and currency conversion — that is not our margin. A retainer of 25% of the card price (minimum €30) holds the vehicle; the balance is cash on the day.
- How many people can come?
- Up to eight. One vehicle seats four; five to eight guests means both cars go out, and both cars are paid for. That is the only honest way to price a two-car fleet.
