Tirana
My city. Loud, colorful, full of life. Best espresso in the Balkans, fight me.

"I'll show you the cafés where artists hang out, not the ones in the guidebooks."
Places I'll take you
My favorite corners of the Balkans
I've spent years walking these towns and trails. Here are the places I keep coming back to — and a short note on each from me.
Countries I guide in
Albania
Home. Where it all starts.
Montenegro
A short drive, a whole different world.
Kosovo
Young, loud, surprisingly beautiful.
North Macedonia
Lakes, mountains, incredible food.
Across Albania, place by place
Berat
A thousand windows climbing up a hill. Walking these alleys never gets old.
Bledi's note
"Come at sunrise. The light hits the stone in a way you'll never forget."
Shkodër
My gateway to the Alps. Lake, fortress, and the slowest coffee in the country.
Bledi's note
"We can rent bikes here and ride along the lake — one of my favorite mornings."
Gjirokastër
Stone city. Stone roofs, stone streets, stone houses. And a castle that stares back.
Bledi's note
"I'll take you to a tiny restaurant where my friend's mom still cooks every dish herself."
Sarandë
Sun-drenched coast looking out at Corfu. The riviera starts here.
Bledi's note
"Skip the main strip. I know a beach 15 minutes away with no umbrellas and no crowds."
Ksamil
Turquoise water, tiny islands you can swim to. People call it the Albanian Maldives.
Bledi's note
"Go in June. By August the secret is out and the beach is full."
Valbona
Pristine alpine valley deep in the Accursed Mountains. Pure quiet.
Bledi's note
"We sleep at a guesthouse run by a family I've known for years. They feed you like you're their kid."
Theth
Remote, dramatic, magical. Waterfalls, the Lock-in Tower, and trails for days.
Bledi's note
"The hike from Valbona to Theth is the best day I have all year, every year."
