Discover the Treasures of nortern Albania: Tirana - Theth - Shkodër - Dürres

Get ready for an incredible Albanian adventure! Once you arrive in Tirana, our journey begins. On the first day, we'll take it easy and wait for everyone to join us. Depending on arrival times, we can decide what we do for the day. We can explore the vibrant city of Tirana! I'm planning on renting a car, so I can pick everyone up from the airport. We will stay in a hostel in Tirana for the night, so we can start our trip off with whatever the cities' nightlife can bring us!

Let's get started right away! In the morning, we'll embark on an exciting journey by car to Theth. We'll bring along our picnic and hike through the stunning Theth National Park, visiting the magnificent Grunas Waterfall. After this rewarding hike, we definitely deserve a refreshing shower and a relaxed evening. We'll spend the night in a cozy hostel in Theth. Since we're in the beautiful Theth, let's go for another hike the next day. We'll trek to the serene Blue Eye natural spring. This is a more leisurely walk, so no worries about tired feet today - we'll take it easy! In the late afternoon, we'll continue our journey and drive to Shkodra, where our next hostel awaits. Get ready for more exciting adventures!

Today we'll do a day tour to the Shala river. This is the description of the tour: Starting bright and early at 8:00 AM in the stunning city of Shkodra at Nicko bar Joker Shkoder, our adventure will take you up the winding mountain roads for two hours, giving you ample time to take in the jaw-dropping scenery. Once we’ve arrived, we’ll stop for a quick coffee break at the terminal before officially starting our boat tour at 10:00 AM. For the next hour, you’ll bask in the breathtaking alpine landscapes as we sail through the turquoise waters of Koman Lake, sipping on refreshing drinks and snacking on delicious fruits from the nearby villages. Once we reach Shala River, we’ll stop for a mouthwatering lunch at Blini Park before enjoying two hours of relaxation and adventure. Take a dip in the water, paddle a canoe, or explore the nearby hiking trails at your own pace. Our return trip will take us back the same way, giving you one last chance to drink in the incredible views of Koman Lake before we arrive back in Shkodra around 5:30-6:00 PM. Afterwards, we'll see what the nightlife of Shkodër has in store for us! Next day we can sleep as long as we want (before check-out of the hostel) and we can find ourselves a place along the Shköder lake to chill for the day. After, we'll drive further to Durrës to find our hostel and freshen up a bit. After we can see what Durrës has to offer!

Get ready for an incredible time in Dürres with two full days of fun and adventure! We have two amazing options to choose from: - Indulge in a blissful beach day, soak up the sun, swim in the sparkling waters, and treat ourself to a delightful picnic and refreshing drinks. - The other day we can embark on an epic journey to the Dajti Mountain National Park. Hike up the breathtaking trails for stunning views, or if we prefer a more relaxed experience, we can drive to the park, stopping at various picturesque viewpoints along the way. The choice is ours! Either way, get ready for unforgettable moments and breathtaking beauty.

Today is the day we say goodbye to this lovely country. Our plans for the day will vary based on everyone's flight schedules. We'll make sure to organize our activities accordingly, ensuring that everyone has enough time to get to the airport and catch their flights. Let's make the most of our remaining time and bid farewell to Albania with cherished memories in our hearts. If you stay longer and want to explore the south of the country as well, look at my previous trip or ask me for inspiration!
