Koman Lake and Shala River Tour
Description
Embark on an unforgettable day excursion to the stunning Albanian Alps, which features the breathtaking Koman Lake and the scenic Shala River. Immerse yourself in a paradise of crystal-clear waters.
Tour Details
At the designated hour, we'll initiate the journey by collecting you from your hotel in Tirana, setting off towards Koman Lake. The drive will take approximately 4 hours, allowing you to appreciate the idyllic rural scenery.
Upon arrival, you'll have the opportunity to board a traditional vessel for a 1-hour cruise that will transport you through breathtaking landscapes reminiscent of Nordic fjords. Prepare to be captivated by the towering mountains and vibrant greenery that envelop the emerald waters of the lake.
Next, we’ll anchor along the banks of the Shala River, renowned for its pristine beauty. Here, you’ll enjoy around 3 hours of leisure time to swim in the inviting turquoise waters, relax on the shore, or savor the tranquility of the Albanian countryside.
For those seeking a thrill, an option is available for a guided 45-minute hike leading to a stunning panoramic viewpoint. This vantage point offers an exceptional perspective of the Shala River canyon, perfect for capturing memorable photographs. The decision is entirely yours!
