Beschrijving
Your own car and driver from Tirana, Durrës or Golem to Rozafa Castle, then the midday boat up Komani Lake to the Shala River. Boat tickets for your group are included.
Most Komani Lake day trips leave Tirana at 5 or 6 in the morning on a full coach. This one is only for your group: your own car and English-speaking driver, a 7:30 start, and the midday boat up Komani Lake to the Shala River.
Your driver picks you up at your hotel in Tirana, Durrës or Golem. In under two hours you reach Rozafa Castle, on the hill above Shkodër where the Drin and Buna rivers meet below Lake Shkodër. Take about 45 minutes to walk the walls, see the ruined church inside and look out over the rivers and the lake. Entry is 400 lek, paid at the gate.
From Shkodër the road climbs past the Vau i Dejës reservoir to the Koman dam. A short walk through an old tunnel in the rock brings you to the dock, where you board the scheduled 12:00 boat. For about 1 hour 15 minutes you sail up Komani Lake, often called Albania's fjord: a flooded gorge with limestone walls rising straight out of green water, and houses that can only be reached by boat. The boat tickets for your whole group are included in the price.
The boat stops at the Shala River, a clear mountain river with pebble beaches. You have about 3 hours 45 minutes here to swim in summer, relax by the water, walk along the river or have lunch at one of the small restaurants. The boat leaves Shala at 17:00 and is back in Koman at about 18:15, where your driver is waiting. You are back in Tirana at about 21:00, and in Durrës or Golem a little later.
The price is per group and covers the car, fuel, tolls, parking and the boat tickets for everyone in your group. Groups of up to 4 travel in one car, and groups of 5 to 8 travel in two cars. The car is private; the boat is the regular midday boat, shared with other travellers.
