Itinerary of your trip Full Day Tour Of Theth & Blue Eye From Tirana Or Shkoder

  • Day 1 Tirane / Shkoder โ€“ Theth โ€“ Blue Eye โ€“ Shkoder / Tirane
    • 12:00 am - 11:59 pm

      Tirane / Shkoder โ€“ Theth โ€“ Blue Eye โ€“ Shkoder / Tirane

      Our journey towards the Albanian Alps begins at 06:00 am in the morning. Our tour leader will come and pick you up at your hotel in Tirana or Shkoder. As we drive along the way towards Northern Albania, you will be amazed by beautiful landscapes; wild fields, rivers, Shkodra Lake and rugged untouched mountains. From Shkoder we will experience local transport riding at around 7:30 am. As we take the turn from the main road to Theth the area becomes more rural, with fewer cars but more wild nature and amazing landscapes. Due to its favorable position this area is famous for cultivating medicinal herbs, and if you are lucky to travel in May โ€“ June you would be amazed by the pretty and aromatic fields of lavender, making you feel like you are in Provence (France). On the way to the top, we will pass through a steep sneaky hillside reaching up to 1700 meters above sea level at Qafa e Thores. They say this is the spot with the best picture โ€“ perfect view of the Albanian Alps.

      We will have a short break for refreshment and start our hiking journey towards the Blue Eye at around mid-day. Blue Eye was formed by the erosion of the water from the melting snow of the Albanian Alps. The hike is about 3 hours one way, with a hiking distance of 6.2 km both ways and about 700 m of elevation. This trail is considered easy to moderate, requiring some experience in hiking. You will not be able to take your eyes off this stunning scene of nature with its bright blue and green colours, itโ€™s like being inside a postcard. Also, fun fact, the temperature of the Blue Eye is just around 5 degrees Celsius. Would you dare to dive in the blue but very cold water? We will go back to the village center and visit the Old Church and the โ€œLock inโ€ Tower (symbol of Theth). The stories behind these buildings take up centuries full of history. After a day full of explorations, we will drive back to Shkoder or Tirana. This marks the end of this amazing hiking experience.
