Albania and the Balkans by Campervan - Chris Wise

Are you ready for a campervan road trip with a difference?

Are you up for adventure in a spectacular, budget-friendly, and largely undiscovered part of Europe?

This road trip diary-cum travel guide has all the inspiration and information you need to explore beyond the usual holiday hotspots and discover the secrets of Albania and The Balkans.
It’s an honest, entertaining and useful journal based on our three-month expedition through this enigmatic region in a campervan called Cliff. It includes:

• A detailed guide to Albania (where we spent most time)
• Must-visit locations and attractions throughout Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and North Macedonia
• Exciting stop-offs on our route back to the UK through Austria, Switzerland and France.

Written with fellow camper fans and motorhomists in mind, this helpful handbook includes precise ‘what3words’ location details for 140 camper-friendly places where we parked or stayed the night. We share:

• Exciting Wild camping sites – from high in The Albanian Alps to the country’s unspoilt beaches
• City Discoveries – including Tirana, Berat, Ksamil, Dubrovnik, Zadar and Kotor, and Ljubljana
• Honest Reviews of campsites and tourist attractions including the much-hyped ‘Albanian Riviera’.

This book covers the third and unexpected phase of our year-long, 20,000 mile campervan road trip through Europe. In truth, we may never have considered Albania and The Balkans if the areas hadn't provided a bolthole from the pesky, post-Brexit travel restrictions that can now affect Brits on big European trips.

But as you'll discover... campervanning through the region we knew next to nothing about became an amazing journey of discovery. If anything, it made us feel we'd been playing all our previous road-tripping a bit safe.
