Embark on the famous Theth to Valbona Hike, which takes you through Albania's stunning landscape including the Valbona Pass, the Valbona River, the waterfalls of Theth, and the Blue Eye of Theth. Spend a night in a traditional guesthouse in the villages of Theth or Valbona.
Visit Lumi i Shales, a river located in the Albanian Alps. You can go canyoning, swimming, kayaking, or rafting in the beautiful turquoise waters.
Discover Albania's capital city, Tirana, which has a rich history and culture. Visit the National History Museum, the Skanderbeg Square, the Dajti Mountain, and the Piramida. In the evening, explore Blloku, the trendy neighborhood with restaurants, bars, and cafes.
Consider renting a car or hiring a private driver to explore Albania efficiently. However, if you prefer public transportation, buses and minibusses are available but schedules can be sporadic. Total transportation costs will be around 3000-4000 lek.
If you have more time, consider visiting Berat or the Albanian Riviera for more outdoor activities and beach access. If you have less time, remove a day from Tirana and Theth to Valbona Hike.
