About this trip
Slow down on the Albanian Riviera with this relaxed 2-day trip from Tirana to Vuno and Jale Beach. Wander the freshly restored stone lanes of Vuno, a hillside village of whitewashed houses with bright yellow shutters and then hike down through olive groves to Jale Beach for a swim in turquoise Ionian waters. Cap your days with home cooked meals in tiny family-run tavernas and unforgettable sunsets over the sea.
