Theth Tour

At the agreed time we'll pick you up from your hotel in Shkodra and head north to visit Theth. Before arriving, we'll stop at the Qafe Thore viewpoint, offering a panoramic view of the Theth valley. We will continue to Theth, a village rich in history.

Upon arrival, we'll visit a bujtina, a local hostel, where we will learn about Theth's traditions. Founded in the 17th century by Albanian Catholics, the village has been isolated for over three centuries.

We will explore Theth on foot, discovering its church and iconic tower houses. The church of Theth, built in 1892 and renovated in 2005, is among the sites visited. A highlight is the Reconciliation Tower, symbolizing traditional family feuds and used for refuge during blood revenge 'gjakmarrja'. We will enjoy the stunning natural environment throughout the tour.

Finally, we'll return to your hotel in Shkodra after eight hours of sightseeing.
