Albania's cultural capital — famed for its cuisine, architecture, and brewery — paired with affordable world-class dentistry just 3 hours away.
Korça is known as the "Little Paris" of Albania — a city celebrated for its refined culture, stunning French-influenced architecture, thriving arts scene, and some of the best cuisine in the country. Sitting on a high plateau near the Greek border, it offers a completely different side of Albania.
Korça's beautifully restored Ottoman bazaar is a vibrant area of cobblestone streets, artisan workshops, cafes, and restaurants. The perfect place to wander and soak up local culture.
Home to Albania's oldest brewery (Birra Korça, since 1928) and famed for lakror (savoury pie), tavë kosi (baked lamb with yoghurt), and excellent local wines. A foodie's paradise.
Once one of the largest cities in the Balkans, this mountain village 20km from Korça has stunning medieval churches with remarkable frescoes. A hidden gem few tourists know about.
Houses one of the world's finest collections of Byzantine icons and religious art, with over 7,000 artefacts. A cultural highlight unique to Korça.
