Package Overview

The narrow Lake Komani covers a large area across Northern Albania. It covers the area of the steep mountains of the Kukes and Shkodra region. According to Bradt Guides’s Gillian Gloyer the ferry ride “deserves to be on the world’s classic boat trips.” The lake spreads to the most distant parts of Albania, from the village of Komani to the village of Fierza, near Bajram Curri.

The lake formed in 1978 when the Fierza hydroelectric dam bordering all three of the region’s biggest districts was erected. The rivers providing water for the lake are the Drini i Zi, the Drini i Bardhe and the Luma Rivers. The lake itself is home to 13 different species of fish, mollusks, crabs and amphibians. The ferry is locally used as one of the few means of transport to reach the distant settlements. It is also considered to be the quickest way for students of the University of Shkodra to travel from their college to their homes in the Tropoje region. The ferry has recently stopped running in some winter months but is still considered a yearlong service. Taking the ferry is still considered the best way to explore the beauty of this lake and the villages around it, as you can enjoy all of the surrounding virgin nature. Sunbathing, camping and fishing are also options to enjoy the surrounding beauty of the area. It’s best recommended to take the trip during the summer, although it is equally gorgeous almost any time of the year.Meals: Traditional Lunch and Dinner in Shala River ( 1st Day ) and Breakfast + Lunch ( 2nd Day )
