    Lake Bovilla

    You will experience one of the most fascinating views in Albania. The turquois waters of the lake combined with the lush of greenery from the steep hill created a breathtaking view. Unlike other tours, we drive up the mountain with a car until the road comes to an end. Following a 15 minutes hike, we reach the top of mount Gamti. Having absorbed the breathtaking views from the mountain's apex, we descend to a charming mountainside coffee spot. Here, we'll pause to restore our energy with a coffee before resuming our journey towards Kruja.
