Itinerary

We will pick you up from your accommodation in Tirana (for Lezha and Shkodra there is a meeting point). Relax in a comfortable van for a 1.5-hour drive until our first stop for coffee, snacks, stretching your legs, and free toilets.

From there, it’s about another 1.5 hours of driving. During this part, your guide will share interesting information about Albania, the area, and the tour itself while you enjoy the mountain and lake scenery. Please note that part of the road is under construction and can be a bit bumpy. After around 3 hours in total, we will reach the Komani Lake dam.
