TET
Albania is a wonderful country where nature is still untouched and there is an immense amount of off-road opportunities. Most other European countries say exactly where you can (and cannot) ride your motorcycle off road but in Albania the story is at the moment very different. You can still find huge amounts of unpaved roads, trails and hidden villages. You can still get that feeling of being truly remote, away from the developed world.
Albania actually consists of two parts: the low coastal land and the mountainous interior. Three quarters of the Albania is mountainous and often uninhabitable and inaccessible. The highest mountain is Korab ( 2763 m ) located in the Korabit mountains on the border with Macedonia and Kosovo . The hill country has elongated ridges, sharply cut small plateaus with lakes and small basins. Trails are often unmaintained and sometimes damaged from heavy rains, so the riding can be quite demanding.
The TET Albania will lead you through some of the most amazing landscapes enriched with a variety of lush terrain, warm-hearted people and traditional culture.
Author Tips & Tricks
If you can, take time for the beaches in the southwest and mountains in the north, the forgotten archeological sites, regional cuisine like fresh trout from a local river, gjellë (a stew of slowly cooked meat with various vegetables) and mazja or flija (a many layered pancake-like dish cooked outdoors over open coals, steamed, and often served with local honey). Spend some time with the local people to get familiar with their stories.
