From Tirana/Durres/Golem: Shala River and Komani Lake Day Trip
Overview
Start your adventure with a pickup from your accommodation in Tirana. Head towards the Shala River, passing through charming Albanian towns. Admire the picturesque landscapes on the 3.5-hour drive. Take a brief stop to stretch, grab a coffee, and refresh before continuing towards the Komani Dam. Upon arrival, a boat will be waiting for you to take you on a scenic one-hour ride across the stunning Komani Lake.

Your guide will also recommend some local restaurants for a delicious lunch. After a day of exploration, board the boat again for the return journey, retracing your route back to the starting point.

Meeting and Pickup
You will be reached via whatsapp the day before the travel to be getting your pick up details. Pick up will start 0-30min before departure and will be done on Minivans, for this reason you might be asked to walk on the main street. If you are not available to walk 100 meters from your accommodation please do not book this tour as the departure is very early in the morning and one single delay destroys the entire program. Being late on the pick up point is acceptable only to 2 minutes of the given time, if you are late please do not ring our phone we have already moved to the next pick up point. MAKE SURE YOU PROVIDE A WHATSAPP NUMBER FUNCTIONAL OR YOU MIGHT MISS THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PICK UP.
