The "Balkan Jewish Heritage" tour is about Jewish history in the Balkans. This magnificent and breathtaking tour includes visiting Albania, Montenegro, Greece, Macedonia, and Kosovo. This eye-opening tour starts and ends in Tirana, Albania, the only country in the world where Germans killed not a single Jew during WW2. The Albanians are the only nation in the world to have protected the Jew like their own family members thanks to their BESA. This tour is for people interested in discovering the Jewish community's culture, history, and lifestyle with the Albanians that are now spread in five countries. This tour provides access to the most significant Jewish sites and all of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of those five countries, old towns, beautiful beaches, dramatic mountains, and the Adriatic Riviera. This is a unique opportunity to explore the Jewish and local history in a heartbreaking and magnificent history trip, enjoying the Balkan Riviera's views while traveling in breathtaking nature and tasting local food and hospitality. This is a 15-day tour, and the visits may include Kotor, Budva, Tirane, Llogora National Park, Vlore, Sarande, Butrint, Blue Eye Spring, Gjirokaster, Berat, Himare, Porto Palermo, Pogradec, Korce, Ohrid, Skopje, and Prizren.
