This is a day tour which will give you a good idea about Tirana city's history and culture and then a nice walk into nature to visit a special bats cave, 15 km east.
For 3 hours we will wander in Tirana's main neighborhoods talking about its history from Romans, Ottomans, Communism time, and present. We will walk on the Main Square, Toptani area, Main Boulevard, and ex-Blloku.
After that, we will head southeast towards Pellumbasi village to visit the cave located in that area, driving about 30 min. Once there we will take the path leading to the cave. The path passes along the Erzeni River with clear blue water during summertime and nice canyons. After walking for just about 1 hour we will see the entrance of the cave. We will get prepared to enter with head or hand lights, change the shoes if possible as it's very muddy inside, get an extra t-shirt, the temperature is colder than outside. Pellumbasi cave is of karstic origin and is about 150m long, 10-15m wide and 45m in height.
