2-Day Hiking Tour in Albania: Himara & Piluri Mountain Village | Albanian Riviera

This isn’t your average tour from Saranda. This is two days of real Albania — mountain trails, village life, jaw-dropping coastal views, and a traditional feast that you simply cannot get anywhere else.

Day 1 – Into the Mountains

Your adventure starts in Himara, a charming coastal town on the Albanian Riviera. From here, you hike uphill through Old Himara toward the ancient castle ruins, climbing through the scenic Kastane area until you reach Piluri Village — perched 850 meters above sea level with sweeping views over the Ionian Sea. Piluri is a place frozen in time. In this quiet mountain village, you’ll be welcomed with a traditional Albanian picnic lunch featuring bio local products and lamb cooked on a spit — an experience that connects you to Albanian culture in the most authentic way possible. Walk the village lanes, meet the locals, and breathe in the mountain air before heading back down to Himara Beach and then descending to Spile for the evening.

Overnight: Hotel Rapos Resort 5★ – Himara

Day 2 – Farewell to the Riviera

After breakfast at the hotel, transfer to Tirana and take the memories with you.
