A long day of travelling but very scenic views on the drive which made it enjoyable. Perfect option if you want to see the best bits of the Albanian alps/ Theth but don’t have the time to do a multi-day hike. Our driver (Marko) was amazing throughout. Easily the highlight of my trip to Albania so far.
