What To Expect
Theth
The drive from Tirana to Theth takes 5–6 hours and offers a dramatic shift from city life to alpine wilderness. After leaving Tirana, you pass through green countryside to Shkodra, a historic city by Lake Shkodra—perfect for a short break. From there, the road narrows and climbs into the Albanian Alps, with views of rugged peaks, deep valleys, and remote stone villages. The Qafa e Thores Pass provides breathtaking panoramas. A 4x4 is recommended, as parts of the road are unpaved and steep. In Theth, a tranquil mountain village, highlights include the iconic church, Grunas Waterfall, and the Blue Eye spring—reachable via a scenic hike. Visit from late spring to early autumn for the best road conditions and weather.

5.00Adi was wonderful! We enjoyed every bit of the experience, he was very caring and took care of us while explaining the history of Kosovo to us. He also went out of his way to pay for a couple of snacks we wanted but we couldnt get because our card was declined... 10/10 Experience 10/10 Hospitality Would recommend!

5.00I truly enjoyed the trip with Adi. He is a local who is passionate about his country. Adi was polite, friendly, easygoing, and flexible throughout the tour. He answered all my questions about the city, its people, and the country with great courtesy. We had engaging conversations about the country’s lifestyle, economy, and history. At the end of the tour, Adi asked if there was anything else I wanted to see or do, and he accommodated my interests. Additionally, he contacted me a day before the tour to confirm the meeting point. I highly recommend his tour for anyone looking to explore and understand the area better.
Helpful, informative
