Three days trip to Korçë and Mavrovo winter tour!
Albania is a great destination for winter tourism. Although it is best known for its warm Mediterranean summers and amazing beaches, there are plenty of things to do in Albania in winter. Korça , a city in southeastern Albania, known for its rich history and cultural heritage is the best destination for winter tourism. It is definitely the best place in Albania during the Christmas, with a very warm and festive atmosphere. Dardhë is a village of Korça, number 1 place in Albania for winter tourism, with its skiing resorts.
Macedonia as well offers a lot of travel opportunities during the winter. Ohrid is a picturesque lakeside town located in the southwestern part of Macedonia. It is also a very nice destination for winter tourism. During winter, Ohrid becomes a quiet and idyllic town that has enchanted visitors since the Byzantine Empire. The pale light of the sun reflects on deserted cobbled streets and this glowing fog melts in time with the footfalls of the few people wandering around. Another “must visit” in Macedonia during winter is Mavrovo National Park, located around 100 km away from Ohrid, with very beautiful resorts and possibility for winter sports.
Beside of being great and very beautiful destinations to visit during the winter, another strong reason to take a trip to these countries is that off-season prices make both Albania and Macedonia even more travel wallet-friendly in December, January, and February.
