Our drive along the Transfagarasan Hwy was everything we expected and more! The drive was beautiful and we saw more than 15 wild brown bears, including mothers with cubs and large male bears.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · 3 hours · from $88

Hike to Corfu’s Angelokastro, follow an old donkey trail through olive groves, and watch the Ionian sunset with wine and a local guide.

“What a great tour of Angel Castle, the countryside, and a beautiful sunset over the Ionian Sea! Our guide, George, was very informative and entertaining. We learned a lot about the history of the castle, the Byzantine era and the Venetian era in Corfu. After the castle, we hiked though the peaceful countryside and learned about olive harvesting and olive oil production. We sampled grapes and figs off the vine. George provided a snack and water as we watched the gorgeous sunset. This was an experience that you can only get with a local guide. Highly recommended!”

He spoke very good English and willingly answered all our questions not only about the specific region, but about Albania in general. It was clear that he is proud of his country and proud to be able to introduce it to enthusiasts from all over the world. Based on this trip, we decided to visit this beautiful country at least once more. We highly recommend everyone to take part in a trip with Ramo.”
