Lake Bovilla
Your day begins early — and beautifully.
We drive toward the peaceful eastern side of Liqeni i Bovillës, where the first light of the sun reflects over crystal waters and dramatic canyon landscapes.
A short and scenic hike takes us to the panoramic viewpoint of Mali i Gamtit.

Petrela Castle
Above the village rises the powerful Kalaja e Petrelës — a strategic stronghold dating back to medieval times and later reinforced during resistance against Ottoman expansion.
Here we explore:
Medieval defensive architecture
Strategic viewpoints overlooking the Erzen valley
Stories of Albanian resistance and local legends
Cultural context of the region through centuries
The view from the castle terrace offers another breathtaking panorama — this time over rolling hills and the outskirts of Tirana.
