Flexible and relaxed
We wanted more time for the beaches and skipped one stop, Kristi just adjusted the plan. Felt like travelling with a local friend.

Great day, long drive
It is a long day in the car, be ready for that. But the swim and the beaches were worth it and Kristi kept it fun.

The highlight of our two weeks in Albania
Kristi was on time to the minute, drove carefully and knew so much. We added a stop at the last moment and it was no problem. We still talk about the beaches.

Safe driver on mountain roads
I was nervous about the roads but Kristi drove calmly and stopped for every view we wanted. Car was spotless with cold water ready.

Questions and answers
Answered by Kristi and Hop! Tourism
Is the road scary?
It is winding but wide and well kept. We drive it slowly.
