3 Days Tour North Albania and Montenegro

This 3-days tour in two countries includes visiting five beautiful attractions, very close to each other, with lots of similarities between them, but at the same time very different from one to another. Shkodra the most important town of north Albania and the Illyrian capital, in the 3rd century BC. It is one of the oldest and most culturally rich cities in Albania, offering a blend of history, natural beauty, and vibrant local life.

Shala is a river flowing inside the Albanian Alps in northern Albania. Its source is in the Albanian Alps, near the village of Theth. Prepare for an extraordinary adventure as you immerse yourself in the mesmerizing world of the Shala River.

Theth is a picturesque village located in the Albanian Alps, and it is known for its stunning natural beauty and traditional architecture. The village is situated in the Theth National Park, a very beautiful part of the Albanian Alps. It is often considered one of the most remote and isolated villages in the Albanian Alps.
