Description
Starting near the Albanian border, this tour crosses into Shkodra, a city with a rich history and a blend of cultures shaped by its past ties with Montenegro. Crossing the border reveals striking contrasts between modern and rural life, with markets offering an unexpected variety of goods.
Rozafa castle, located just outside Shkodra, is a historic fortress perched on a hilltop. It overlooks Lake Skadar, the Drin River, and surrounding valleys. The castle is linked to the local legend of Rozafa, whose sacrifice is said to have ensured the fortress’s strength.
