Highlights

Lezhe Castle - Our guide will pick you up early at the hotel in Tirana. Our first stop will be Lezha. Lezha is located in north Albania and is a region with thousands of years of history. In Lezha the League of Lezha was created under the order of Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg.

After Lezha we are going toward Thethi.

To go to Thethi we need to drive through, Thore Pass. It is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 1.685m above sea level, located in the Albanian Alps. After that, we are in Thethi village and we are going to the guest house where the lunch is going to be served. After lunch, we are going to see the Tower of Thethi and the Church.

Additional Information

All should make a point to visit Thethi.

Thethi is an incredible settlement located in northern Albania, nestled within the Shkodra region. It’s tucked within the towering heights of the Shala ranges, making Thethi a secluded place which often becomes virtually unreachable during snowfall.

A renowned English explorer and Balkans expert, Edith Durham, journeyed to the region in 1908. She described its remoteness in captivating words:

‘I believe no location inhabited by humans has ever instilled in me such a feeling of awe-inspiring solitude from the rest of the world. It is a place where time seems to collapse; the river could well be the source of life, its banks the perfect dwelling for primal urges–emotions that are fierce and swift.’

Great experience - We had a great two-day trip to the north of Albania, with spectacular mountain views and amazingly green waters that invited to take a dip. We also visited historical sites and, throughout the trip, learned a lot about Albania's rich history. We had a fantastic guide who not only was generous in sharing his wealth of knowledge, but was also very accommodating and flexible and made sure we got the best out of our trip despite booking at last minute. A true pearl: discreetly shiny. Thank you so much, Leo!

Awesome beauty! - Theth is truly one of most beautiful places I have been to. I was lucky to be there in autumn with the hillsides awash in color. My guide Endri was an excellent driver, teller of tales, historian, and hiking companion. The two hikes were worth the effort. The guesthouse was okay. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys adventure and stunning scenery.

The best tour guide!! - I normally never write reviews, but this one definitely deserves it - in only a positive way! Hands down, Leo was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. I was the only one for the trip to Theth and was already a bit skeptical about going alone and if it would be awkward, but Leo made sure to make me feel safe and comfortable during the whole time. Not only is he an incredible knowledgeable guide with a good sense of humour, but he’s also a very good photographer. I believe I stopped several times and took photos of every corner, but he was extremely patient and kind and kept asking if I wanted a picture taken. Thank you so much Leo for showing me the beauty of Albania and for giving me a unique, fun and an unforgettable trip!😊

Awesome trip! I fall in love with Albania. - We really had a great time on this trip it's awesome. Leo our tour guide is nice guy and very knowledgeable. During our road trip to Thethi we got the chance to listen to some of the Albanian songs and I really love it. In fact I downloaded some of them in my iTunes and keep listening to it. I highly recommend this guide as he has a lot of patience and he is always on the go with our trip. He brought us to Shkodra on a nice secluded part of the city, enjoyed our lunch with the lake view and a delicious meal. He has the good eye of taking a pictures and that is the big bonus for us. Leo thanks for showing us the beauty of Albania and the kindness and friendly Albanians.

Unforgettable trip - This journey was amazing and one of the highlights of our trip to Albania. Our guide Mimi, made sure we were comfortable, informed and satisfied with the tour at all times. My husband and I love to take pictures and Theth is one of the most beautiful sites we have ever captured around the world. The hikes we did were moderate and the landscape was just breathtaking. I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking to get away from the city for a couple of days and be ready to be impressed by the gorgeous Albanian Alps.
