The North Of Albania

The North of Albania is one of the most fascinating beauties of mountains and long rivers. There are Albania Alpes with a lengths around 2000-2600 m. Between these mountains is a village Thethi, which is very frequented from tourists in every season of the year. Theth is isolated from the peak of the mountains and offers a different experience for tourists. Fields of tall green grass filled with stone houses, people farming by hand, fresh water in any direction. Visitors who arrive for two nights or more leave with a feeling that the world did not exist beyond these mountains. There are no hotels. Tourists have to stay at residents’ houses and this makes their experience more real. They eat traditional food and experience the lifestyle as members of the houses where they stay.
