The tour will start on August 18th and end on August 31st, according to the official announcement by the Agency of Coastline.

Via Egnantia was one of the most important roads in ancient times since it was a link between Roman Empire, Constantinople, Orient and Occident. It reveals vast unexploited touristic potential for developing cultural and religious tourism, historic tourism, and tourism of arts, philosophy and culinary, according to Auron Tare.
As it seems, Albania is really Europe’s last discovered country since it is still discovering itself!
