Getting there and around

Since the Peaks of the Balkans Trail is a circular route, it is possible to start or finish the route in Montenegro, Kosovo or Albania – meaning a flight to Podgorica, Pristina or Tirana, and continuing to a trailhead by local bus from there. On balance, at least if arriving from the UK, cheaper flights and more direct onward transport to the Trail favour flying to Podgorica or Pristina.
