Lord Byron Trail Tours

In The Footsteps of Lord Byron

Journey through Albania


A walking Tour




Land of Albania, where Iskander rose, Theme of the young, and beacon of the wise, And he his namesake whose oft-baffled foes Shrunk from his deeds of chivalrous emprise; Land of Albania! let me bend mine eyes On thee, thou rugged nurse of savage men! The Cross descends, thy minarets arise, And the pale crescent sparkles in the glen, Through many a cypress grove within each city’s ken.

Child Harold Piligrimage





“British poet, Lord George Gordon Byron (1788-1824), set out on a grand tour of the Mediterranean in 1809, in the course of which he visited Spain, Malta, Albania, Greece and Asia Minor. His visit to Albania in the autumn of that year made a lasting impression on him and is reflected in the second canto of the poem "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage," that catapulted him to fame as a writer in 1812.” Auron Expeditions exclusively offers a guided tour in the exact foot-steps of Lord Byron. Our specialized tour ranges from 1-7 days on horseback or walking. The trail takes you through Glina Village up to Tepelene town. Strolling along cleared paths along Vjose river, exploring ancient monasteries, castles and visiting local villages.
