Question 2

Day 2: Tirana – Koman Lake – Valbona

Accepted Answer

The day will start early by leaving Tirana at 5:30 am to drive toward Koman Lake when the ferry departs at 9:00 am to the other side of the lake, Fierza. Since 1985 this manmade lake has been the only way how locals who live in the surroundings to get in touch with the modern world. The first 2 hours of driving are smooth, with the sun rising on the horizon. The last hour will get more vivid driving on bumpy terrain and scattered, old asphalt.
In addition, over 2 hours of sailing in the depths of Drini Canyon and Koman Lake. A remote area, with unbelievable sceneries and breathtaking views. From time to time you will be forgotten by time stone towers and houses and very few locals who continue their everyday life and mostly pastoral activities.
Driving from Fierza to Valbona will take around 45 minutes, passing through Bajram Curri, the municipality of the area. Lunch break in Valbona and hiking in Kukaj, a very remote area in Valbona Valley surroundings where we will see how the people do their living. In addition, based on the time and weather, the most adventurous part of the group, is not far from the guesthouse there is a crystal clear water pool where we can have a short dip.

Question 3

Day 3: Hiking from Valbona – Theth

Accepted Answer

Also called “the Big Day” of the tour, we now set off on the thrilling hike from Valbona to Theth following the ancient path that the locals have been using for years. Back in the day, it was only possible to travel from Valbona to Shkoder on foot taking two full days of walking!
Walking on this path we will pass through the oldest part of the village where people are still living in their more than 100-year-old stone houses that are remarkable remnants of the past. In addition, this 16-km trek offers spectacular views of long rocky valleys and lush green forests.
We stop for lunch (picnic lunch from the Guesthouse) at one of the traditional cafés along the way but do stock up on snacks just in case. In addition, after trekking for about 7-8 hours we arrive in Theth.
Free evening. Overnight and dinner at the guesthouse in Theth.

Question 8

Day 8: Korčula Island to Hvar Island (Jelsa, Stari Grad or Hvar)

Accepted Answer

Hvar Island is rated as one of the highlights of the trip and it’s not hard to see why. It boasts several gorgeous towns such as Jelsa (where we often dock), Stari Grad and Hvar Town itself.
We arrive into Jelsa, Stari Grad or Hvar Town (if we are lucky enough to get a docking space there) after lunch, and if you fancy visiting other towns, you can easily take a bus or taxi (not included) as the town are only around 15-25 mins from each other.
Hvar town’s nightlife is legendary and nothing beats catching the sunset at Hula Hula bar, then taking the organised shuttle boat over to Carpe Diem – the famous “club on an island”.
Stari Grad’s old town is a delight to explore, with several cosy wine-bars to be found on its winding streets. Jelsa has a wonderful harbour and promenade and features a famous park that often has live, outdoor music performances and festivals.
You are spoilt for choice!
