From Durrës, Golem, or Tirana, you’ll ride Albania’s longest zipline above wooded hills, then visit hilltop Petrela Castle.

The four-hour tour costs $81, includes hotel pickup and drop-off, and suits active couples, families, and small groups.

“We werden opgehaald door Mikel en gingen in de auto naar het kasteel in Petrela. We even een klim maar prachtig uitzicht. Ons hoogtepunt was toch echt wel de zippline. Fantastisch om te beleven. Mikel was erg aardig en vertelde veel over het land en kasteel. Doordat we een privetour hadden was het erg persoonlijk. Een fantastische trip.”

Let op: de prijs hiervoor zit niet bij de tour in inbegrepen, maar wel echt de moeite waard! Het is de langste zipline van Albanië en je hebt mooi uitzicht. Je betaald €20 pp extra. Daarna nog 30 min gereden naar de plek waar we gingen hiken. Het is een wandeltocht van een uur en dan kom je bij de super gave black…”
