Greece, Macedonia and Albania!. Begin in Athens (steeped in history and full of stunning architecture). Continue via transfer to Thessaloniki (port city on the Thermaic Gulf of the Aegean Sea and the second-largest Greek city) with a stop by Meteora. After that, take another transfer to Ohrid (a city in the southwestern part of Macedonia, famous for its natural beauty, scenery and with a large number of churches and monasteries) stopping by Heraclea Lyncestis (an ancient Greek city in Macedonia, ruled later by the Romans). Lastly, a transfer will take you to Tirana, the capital of Albania (known for its colorful Ottoman-, Fascist- and Soviet-era architecture), with a stop by Elbasan and Petrele Castle.

Greece
Greece is THE land of ancient sites and architectural treasures: the Acropolis in Athens, the amphitheater of Epidaurus, the reconstructed palace at Knossos, the belly button of the cosmos at Delphi, fallen columns galore on the sacred island of Delos, and frescoed Minoan palaces on Crete. But don't expect a visit there to be a sober study of the ancient world, the Greek propensity for partying dates back to Dionysus. Then there are 1400 islands to explore. Greece is much more than what you were taught at school or the predictable summer image of glorious sunsets and sandy beaches.
Macedonia
Macedonia, formerly known as the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), is known for its long and eventful history, stretching back to the Bronze Age. It is known for its strong religious tradition, and there are hundreds of picturesque Orthodox cathedrals and mosques that are each distinctly beautiful. North Macedonia is known as having an underrated food culture, with an emphasis on farm-to-table cuisine and fresh produce. For as small as North Macedonia is compared to its Balkan neighbors, the geography is surprisingly varied here, home to Europe`s two oldest lakes and over 50 mountains higher than 6,000 feet.
Albania
Albania is well-known for its contributions to culture, which stretches back over two millennia. You can see artifacts and works of art created by the people who call Albania home in the country`s many museums, of which the Durrës Archaeological Museum and the National Art Gallery are two not to be missed. Albania`s beaches are very popular, ranging from the untouched and pristine to flashy and touristy. Finally, it can`t be ignored that Albania`s Communist-era history and relics set it apart even from other former Communist nations in Eastern Europe.
