Review of a 3-day North Albania tour from Tirana covering Kruja, Shkoder, Theth, Blue Eye, and Shala River by boat.
“Lately we had an amazing tour in Albania with Local Friends. We started in Kruja, where the castle and its history really set the tone for the trip. Afterward, the landscape shifted dramatically as we made our way into Theth, a charming mountain village surrounded by stunning peaks and waterfalls. It felt like stepping into a different world, and the hiking trails were unforgettable.”

Il viaggio può sembrare stancante,ma la vista di questa "baia" incastonata nel verde ripagherà ogni sforzo. Consigliamo di scegliere il tour organizzato per vari motivi: 1) la strada per raggiungere l'imbarco è dissestata e non proprio facile per chi non è abituato a guidare in Albania 2) non abbiamo dovuto fare file sotto il sole per salire in barca, perché era già tutto organizzato e prenotato dalla guida 3) la guida ci ha…”
