Tirana: Gamti Mountain Hike with Lake Views

1. Tirana: Gamti Mountain Hike with Lake Views

Your experience begins as you are collected from your accommodation at 9:00AM, from where you depart for Bovilla Lake. The road is about 21 kilometers long, with half of it being off-road. Along the way, enjoy views of the suburban neighborhoods of Tirana, taking in the very different lifestyle to that of the city. Drive up to the lake's dam, before preparing to hike in Gamti Mountain. Your hiking track is of a simple level, with each step providing you with a more beautiful view than the last as you ascend to the top. Your hike lasts about 40 minutes, and on top of the hill you can enjoy the impressive views of the lake and the green hills that surround it. Whilst there, take some time to rest, enjoy the gorgeous view, and talk and eat food under the shadows of the cave. Following your break, return back down via the same track. Once done hiking, make a short stop at the river below the dam, which is home to unique canyon. You can also choose to refresh yourself with a swim in the fresh water of the river. At the conclusion of your adventure, your guide returns you back to Tirana.

Full-Day Berat Trip from Tirana

2. Full-Day Berat Trip from Tirana

Depart for Berat at 8:30 am and you will be transferred to this beautiful city for around 2.5 hours. This is one of the oldest cities and the pride of Albanian architecture. The three major neighborhoods of the old city are Mangalemi, Gorica, and Kala where the castle itself is located. You will start our tour with the castle area. Visiting the 'Kala' involves a steep walk up a cobbled path, but those who make it to the top will be rewarded with a fine view of the surrounding area. You will visit the Museum of Iconography 'Onufri' which bears the name of the renowned fresco and icon-painter Onufri, who has left a rich inheritance. This museum is located within the cathedral of St. Mary’s Assumption. You will also visit the Red Mosque, recognized by its lonely minaret and St. Trinity Church. After the fortress you will visit the Mangalemi quarter and the National Ethnographic Museum. This museum is located in one of the most characteristic and interesting houses of the town, a rich assemblage of traditional objects (more than 1000) and is one of the greatest examples of Berat’s long history and culture. Across the Osumi River lies the Gorica neighborhood, whose houses face those of Mangalemi. The arched bridge of Gorica, built in 1780, is a beautiful architectural monument constructed to link Gorica with Mangelemi. Enjoy some free time to stroll on the bridge.

וואוו, אין מילים, מדריך הטיולים נחמד, אדיב ומאוד מנוסה, לקח אותנו למקומות היפים בטירנה, הקפיד לשמור עלינו שלא נחליק בזמן ההליכה ובזמן צילום התמונות. בנוסף, המדריך הסביר בשמחה על כל המקומות והפעילות המומלצות בעיר, לא מובן מאליו. המדריך דובר אנגלית מאוד קלילה ונותן אווירה מאוד כיפית. ממליץ מאוד! WOW there are no words, the tour guide is nice and kind and very experienced, he took us to the most beautiful places in Tirana, he made sure to keep us from slipping while walking and while taking pictures. In addition, the guide happily explained all the recommended places and activities in the city, not a given. The guide speaks English very easily and gives a very fun atmosphere. highly recommend!

I've never done a guided tour before and was slightly nervous as a solo traveler but must say I was very impressed and had an amazing day. My guide was incredibly knowledgeable about, not just the mountain, but the history of Albania and so I learned a lot and had all my questions answered. I felt really safe whilst going up the mountain and my guide took some of the most incredible pictures. I cannot recommend the experience and my guide enough. It was a very memorable day and I am very grateful for the experience.

Ottima esperienza per staccare dalla caotica Tirana. Il posto è bellissimo in mezzo alla natura e la guida Kristi oltre ad essere un ottimo autista ci ha aiutato a scalare le rocce è stato bravissimo.

The guide named Kristi was very professional in his work. It was a wonderful experience and got to explore more. Totally it is worth trying...

Great tour guide, beautiful view. A little pricey but worth it
