Description

Explore the mountains of Kosovo on a 2-day tour from Tirana. Visit Kukës, Prevalla, and Brezovica, and discover the historic city of Prizren.
Day 1:

Depart early from Tirana and head northeast through Albania's rolling countryside. Stop in Kukës, ,Enjoy a fresh brew at a lakeside cafe, ideal for photos or a short stroll.

From there, cross into Kosovo and continue to Prevalla, a hidden gem in the Sharri Mountains at around 1,500 meters elevation. This picturesque area is renowned for its pristine nature, featuring lush pine forests, wildflowers in spring, and crisp air year-round.

By late afternoon, arrive at Brezovica, Kosovo's premier ski resort tucked in the heart of Sharr National Park. Check into your comfortable 4-star hotel, where modern amenities blend with alpine charm.

Brezovica is famous not just for winter sports but for its summer appeal, with opportunities for mountain biking or simply relaxing amid the stunning scenery. Dinner is at your leisure, perhaps sampling local Kosovo cuisine like grilled meats or fresh dairy from nearby farms. Overnight in Brezovica.

Day 2:

Awake to the invigorating mountain air and a hearty breakfast at the hotel. Start the day exploring Brezovica's ski slopes, even outside winter season—the cable cars and lifts (typically open from 9 AM to 3:30 PM, weather permitting) offer easy access to jaw-dropping panoramic views of the Sharr Mountains.

Take a gentle ride up for a bird's-eye perspective of the valleys below, or opt for a short nature walk along scenic trails dotted with wildflowers and streams. In summer, the area transforms into a paradise for hikers and bikers, with paths leading through dense forests and open meadows.

Mid-day, drive a short distance to Prizren, Kosovo's and Albanian enchanting historic city nestled along the Bistrica River and backed by the Sharr Mountains. Often hailed as the "Pearl of Kosovo," Prizren blends Ottoman, Byzantine, and Albanian influences in its architecture and culture.

Climb to the iconic Kalaja Fortress (Prizren Fortress) for sweeping views of the city and river—perfect for a sunset watch if timed right, though you'll aim for midday magic. Admire the intricate designs of the Sinan Pasha Mosque, a 17th-century Ottoman masterpiece with towering minarets and frescoes.

Stroll across the historic Stone Bridge, a symbol of the city spanning the river, and wander Shadervan (Fountain) Square with its lively fountain, bustling cafés, and street performers. Don't miss the Old Bazaar for local crafts, or the UNESCO-listed Church of Our Lady of Ljeviš, showcasing medieval Orthodox art.

Prizren's vibrant coffee culture invites you to sip a traditional macchiato while people-watching in the charming old town. Enjoy a delicious lunch in Prizren—perhaps at a riverside restaurant serving Kosovo specialties like qebapa (grilled sausages), fresh salads, and baklava.

By early afternoon, head back to Tirana, arriving by evening (around 6-7 PM) with hotel drop-off. Return refreshed, with stories of mountains conquered and cultures explored.
