Shkoder Travel Forum

Hi everyone,

I have been hearing a lot about the Lake Komani ferry leaving from Shkoder and I'm very keen to fit it into my trip (though I have limited time). I know I can get a bus from Tirana to Shkoder but from there I don't know anything more. I want to get to Prizren/Pristina in Kosovo after so I need to know if there is any available transport from the North to there. If not (and I have to come back to Tirana to catch a bus to Pristina) it would be good to know how often the Komani ferry runs so I can plan when to go and when to return!

Thanks!

I am flying to Tiranė and intending to hire a car to drive to Shkodėr. I would then leave the car in Shkodėr. Is this possible? Does anyone know of any car hire firm with an office in both Tiranė and Shkodėr?? This is necessary because I want the time to explore Krujė on the way north from Tiranė and car hire seems the only option...please help! I am travelling to Tiranė on 1st September and would require the car for two or three days. I can be emailed directly at jfrankcom@btinternet.com

who is the owner of that holet rozafa 1988??? it had a pix i just wanted to knoe who owns it?

Hello!

First of all thanks for the previous replies!

We are looking for some extra info about the transportation/paths/roads or any other info with regards to small villages and places in: Northern Albania, Montenegro and Macedonia. Me and my friend Jiři will be there between the 15th and the 30th of July.

In Albania, from Shkoder and through intermediate stops, we would like to reach: Vermosh, Rraphe, Paplukut Mountain, Jezerces Mountain, Ragam, Dragobi, Shohan, Rupes Mountain, Markofces Mountain, Tropoje, Peshkopi, Lura e Vjeter, Merkuth, Klos, Qafa e Shtylles and Dajt.

In Macedonia we would like to visit Mavrovsko Ezero. We also would like to know which is the place place to cross the border between Albania and Macedonia.

Finally on our way to/from Albania we would eventually make a stop to see: Skadarsko jezero, V. Ostros, Livari and Murici.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I plan to visit Albania for 10 days in July. I'll have around 3 whole days to spend around Shkoder and I was wondering if I were able to travel to Theth in the North Albanian Mts. to enjoy a day of hiking and see the famous wild landscapes...

I've read that it's rather hard to get to Theth. I am wondering whether I'll be able to hitchhike from Koplik. Is there ANY connection with Theth? Is hitchhiking common in Albania?

If not, will I be able to rent a jeep in Shkoder and how much will it cost for ~3 days?

Any comments/advice?

Thanks in advance for help!

Hello everybody!

Me and my friend Jiri are planning a visit to Shkodra between the 15th and 30th of July. Even if we already visited several pages on the net and we even bought a Guide book, we are still lacking a few essential info like:

*Timetable and transportation between Montenegro (Podgorica or Bar or Ulcinj)and Shkoder

*Availability of camping sites in Shkodra and surroundings

*Which is the best point of the border between Montenegro and Albania that we should use to get to Shkoder

Any info about these topics or other tips would be more than welcome.

Dear all,

I am planning to do a short side trip with rented car to Shkodra, from Montenegro. Could you tell me how the roads are, the security situation on the road, what do I have to pay to enter Albania and are there extra fees for car insurance? How safe is it to park a car in Shkodra (it has Slovakian number plate).
Cheers

Dear Friends
