Leave Tirana on day one and head towards the North of Albania to stop at the Castle of Rozafa. Learn about the castle's role in Albanian history, dating from the Antiquity and the Illyrian-Roman wars, and see the castle, built over the top of a hill. Discover the fascinating legends of the Albanian Epos and how it relates to the castle's history.

Depart from the Castle and head down to the city of Shkoder. Marvel at the city famous for its typical architecture, sense of humour, and friendly atmosphere. It is one of the most important city centers of Albania. Take in the religious diversity of the city where one can find a Catholic Church, Orthodox Church, and Muslim Mosque next to each other.

Walk through Shkoder and take in some of the most interesting parts of the city, including the most famous “Pedonale”, a pedestrian-friendly area with bars and restaurants.

Travel out of Shkoder in the afternoon to head North towards Theth to stay overnight. Drive on the winding road to Theth and upon reaching the destination, be welcomed by a local family in their guesthouse.

Hike to the beautiful Grunas Waterfall after breakfast at the guesthouse. Enjoy a leisurely 45-min walk from the centre of the village to the waterfall.

Visit also the Catholic Church of Theth on the trip out of Theth and see the Lock-in Tower. With more than 4 centuries of history, this building is the symbol of settling the blood feuds in Albania.
