Itinerary

Day 1: Tirana – Shkodra – Theth

Pass By: Choose Balkans - Albania Tour Operator, Rruga Reshit Çollaku, Tirana, Albania
Our tour guide will come and pick you up at your hotel in Tirana at 5:30 am.

Pass By: Shkodra Lake, Shiroka, Shkoder Albania
Our journey towards the Albanian Alps begins in the morning at 07:00 am from Tirana. As we drive along the way towards Northern Albania you would be amazed by beautiful landscapes; wild fields, rivers, Shkodra Lake and rugged untouched mountains.

Stop At: Theth, Theth, Shkoder County
As we take the turn from the main road to Theth, the area becomes more rural, with fewer cars but more wild nature and amazing landscapes. Due to its favorable position this area is famous for cultivating medicinal herbs and if you are lucky to travel in May – June, you will be amazed by the pretty and aromatic fields of lavender making you feel like you are in Provence (France). On the way to the top, we will pass through a steep sneaky hillside reaching up to 900 meters at Qafa e Thores. They say this is the spot with the best picture – a perfect view of the Albanian Alps. We arrive at our Guesthouse in Theth at around 11:30, some tasty fresh local food will be waiting for us (on both days of the tour). After resting a bit, we will visit the Old Church and the “Lock in” Tower (symbol of Theth). The stories behind these buildings take up centuries full of history. Overnight in a guesthouse in Theth.

Day 2: Theth – Grunas Waterfall – Theth – Tirana

Stop At: Grunasi Waterfall, Theth Albania
Waking up with such a magnificent view of the Albanian Alps will make you want to stay longer, but after breakfast we will hike from Theth to Grunas Waterfall (about 1-hour hike).
