ABOUT ZÀBEL
Zàbel Albania is at its beginning.It is built on years of professional experience in tourism development, sustainable travel, education, and community-based initiatives across Albania and the region. The idea of Zàbel grew slowly, through fieldwork, study trips, rural projects, cycling routes, trails, and long conversations with communities. Over time, it became clear that there was a need for a different kind of platform: one that values process over speed, depth over volume, and local voices over templates.Zàbel Albania is not a tour operator in the traditional sense.It is a space for curated journeys, research and informed travel, with a meaningful exchange.

Hi I’m Reze
Your Albanian Travel Advisor
It all started with just a girl and her bike. Then came the group, and the group became a journey — into Albania’s mountains, villages, rivers, lakes and coastlines. That journey turned into work in the adventure and rural tourism sector of Albania.
I began my path in tourism back in 2017. Step by step, I shaped the idea of Zabel Albania — and in 2025, I finally gave it life.
Everything you’ll experience with Zabel is rooted in that original idea: one woman’s dream trip across her own country. Now it’s a platform for curated journeys, storytelling, and connection — designed to echo the beauty of Albania through the eyes of locals.
