2.Off Road ATV Kallmi Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 51 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $84

Meet Quad Squad Durrës in Durrës 30 minutes early for a 90-minute ATV ride toward Kallmi Beach. You need a valid car driving licence to drive your own quad. Expect mountain tracks, steep sections, goats on the hills, clean water, and time to enjoy a quiet coastal setting.

“Fantastic experience and easily the best activity in Durrës. The mountain route is challenging and not for the faint-hearted, so if you’re uneasy with dangerous roads, it’s best to ride as a passenger. A valid driving licence is required to operate the quad bikes. This is probably the best quad biking experience in true mountain conditions.”
