    Ein unvergessliches Albanien-Erlebnis! Endlich ist es soweit – unser Fotobuch zur Reise nach Albanien ist fertig! Beim Durchsehen der Bilder wurde uns wieder bewusst, welch wunderbare und unvergessliche Erlebnisse wir auf dieser Reise sammeln durften. Unser Fazit ist durchweg positiv! Es war faszinierend, dieses vielseitige Land in all seinen Facetten kennenzulernen. Unsere beiden Guides haben uns mit beeindruckendem Fachwissen tiefgehende Einblicke in Geschichte, Kultur und Alltag Albaniens vermittelt. Ihre Sympathie, Hilfsbereitschaft und Zuvorkommenheit haben entscheidend zur harmonischen Atmosphäre und stets guter Laune beigetragen. Ebenso möchten wir ihre Verlässlichkeit, Pünktlichkeit und exzellente, sichere Fahrweise besonders hervorheben – dafür ein großes Dankeschön! Die Hotels waren, wenn auch unterschiedlich, durchweg in Ordnung. Sauberkeit, freundlicher Service und ein gutes, reichhaltiges Frühstück waren überall gegeben. Besonders hervorzuheben sind das „Lot Boutique“ und das „Oxford“ in Tirana – letzteres mit seinem modernen Stil ein echtes Highlight. Letztendlich war die perfekte Organisation die Basis für diese rundum gelungene Reise. Dafür möchten wir Ihnen unsere große Anerkennung und unseren herzlichen Dank aussprechen! Und nun bleibt die spannende Frage: Wohin führt unsere Reise dieses Jahr? Die Vielseitigkeit des Ventus-Reisen-Angebots lässt uns träumen – vielleicht haben Sie sogar eine ganz besondere Empfehlung für uns? Wir wären sehr gespannt und dankbar!
