Cycling in Albania

On this door-to-door cycling adventure, we mostly stay in three- or four-star hotels and guesthouses. These are well located for our adventure but, with tourism still developing in Albania, relatively modest. Below are a couple of hotels our guests typically enjoy.  



Gërmenj: Farma Sotira (night 2)







In a tranquil valley within Germenj-Shelegur National Park and with fresh water running down from the mountains, Farma Sotira is a tranquil place to stay. It is also a working farm, so dinner is mainly created from homegrown produce and prepared using traditional methods. We sleep in two-room wooden cabins (each room has twin beds). Each cabin has a communal bathroom. 



Sarandë: Hotel Nertili (night 5)







The waters of the Ionian take centre stage at the beachfront Hotel Nertili. There’s also a private beach area with sundecks and parasols, plus a bar and restaurant with a sea-view terrace.  



Worth knowing 



Single accommodation is available on request. Please note, single rooms may not be available in the guesthouses in Germenj and Benje due to a limited number of rooms. 

The hotels we use in Himarë (Rondo's Hotel) and Guesthouse Coli are more basic than the other hotels used on this trip. While basic, all are ideally located for our adventures (the Himarë options are by the beach and Guesthouse Coli by thermal springs).
