Realistically, what is the difficulty of the climb?

This is the most difficult one. You don't need to climb or use ropes, but the technical difficulty of most of the stages is T4 or T5+ (max. possible T6).

Can you recommend any airlines that might be worth considering for travel from the UK?

The best alternative to travel from London to Tirana is British airlines. In collaboration with Turkish airlines they apply sometimes very good fares.

Do you have any recommendations for the best way to get from Tirana to Sarandë?

Travel from Tirana to Saranda wont be a problem. There are scheduled buses every day.

We decided to take an all inclusive trip where we had a guide with us the whole time, because we didn't know what to expect in Albania. Everything on our trip went well. Our guide met us at the airport, looked after anything we needed from morning to evening and was always friendly and warm. We took this tour because it gave us the opportunity to choose spontaneously at the beginning of each day between one of the two parallel activities (one very demanding and the other easier). The scenery along the trails was fantastic, the accommodation was simple but clear and cozy and the food was fresh and homemade. North Albania exceeded our expectations and I can strongly recommend Adventure and fun Albania.
