The journey

We leave Krk and follow the Adriatic south through Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. The road carries us on to Albania, where mountains meet the Ionian Sea, before we continue to Greece and Athens.

Athens is the southernmost point, but only the middle of the story. On the way north, we ride to the rock pillars of Meteora, then towards North Macedonia and Lake Ohrid. The scenery changes again as we cross the Balkan mountains on the way home.

Six countries and many landscapes later, we reach the Croatian coast and return to Krk. ALMA is made for riders who enjoy the distance between places as much as the destinations themselves.
