Meet at the “Teuta street” in Shkodra, near Hotel Rozafa in the city center. Your journey begins with a scenic drive toward Koman Lake.
Arrive at the Komani ferry terminal and board the passenger ferry for an unforgettable journey through one of Albania’s most beautiful natural wonders.
Enjoy a peaceful 2-hour boat ride through Komani Lake, surrounded by steep cliffs and lush green landscapes — often compared to the fjords of Norway.
