Explore Thethi, the unknown part of Albania in two days





Description
Everyone must go to Thethi. Theth is a wonderful village in northern Albania’s Shkodra region. Set among the peaks of the Shala mountains, Theth is isolated, and in times of snow, practically inaccessible. Edith Durham, a famous English traveler and writer on the Balkans, visited the area in 1908. She wrote of its seclusion: ‘I think no place where human beings live has given me such an impression of majestic isolation from the entire world. It is a spot where the centuries shrivel; the river might be the world’s well-spring, its banks the fit home of elemental instincts–passions that are red and rapid.’

Leo was a brilliant guide - really took good care of us and was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us a lot of history, and answered all our questions. The scenery is breathtaking and the tour activities are well planned. Highly recommend!
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!
Flori was great driver, very caring and with great sense of humor! We tried “Bujtina.. “ and loved the great food and the warm welcome. The pristine nature in Theth and blue eye was like no other on earth!
Fantastic trip of Northern Albania! Flori was our guide He was very attentive to our group of five: 3 children and 2 adults. We stopped in Lezh, Shkoder, visited Rozafa’s castle and finally Albanian Alps with the beautiful preserved Theth and blue eye! Food was fantastic and the people were very friendly and welcoming!
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.
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!😊
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.
A great trip with great moderate hikes. The tour guide, Mimi was very helpful and fun to travel with. Great time and views awaiting you in this 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.
