Theth Tour

We will pick you up from your hotel in Shkodra and travel north to Theth. Prepare for picturesque views.

En route, we will stop at the Qafe Thore viewpoint to enjoy a panoramic view of the Theth valley. We will then continue to the mountain village of Theth, which has historical significance.

Upon arrival, we will visit a bujtina, a local hostel, to learn about the traditional aspects of Theth. Founded in the 17th century by Albanian Catholics, this village has been isolated for over three centuries.

Next, we will walk through Theth, visiting its church and iconic tower houses. Notable sites include the church of Theth, built in 1892 and renovated in 2005, and the Reconciliation Tower, which symbolized traditional family feuds. The tower served as a shelter during blood revenge 'gjakmarrja'. We will also appreciate the natural environment surrounding Theth.

After eight hours of sightseeing, we will return to your hotel in Shkodra.
