We will pick you up from your accommodation or meeting point in Tirana, Durres or Golem and begin our guided hiking tour to Bovilla Lake. Sit back and relax in our comfortable van. The drive includes a short stop at a local coffee shop where you can purchase snacks/drinks and use the restrooms/toilets.
During the journey, your tour guide will share interesting information about Albania areas. Your first stop will be the Bovilla Canyons, where you can stretch your legs and enjoy the refreshing air and beautiful landscape of the small canyon.
Just 10 minutes from there, you will arrive at Bovilla Lake, where the hike begins. After a short briefing from the guide, you’ll start the hike. As you climb, take in the serene surroundings—the higher you go, the more breathtaking the view becomes!
At the famous “Balcony of Bovilla,” you’ll have free time to soak in the stunning panorama. For photography enthusiasts, this is the perfect spot to capture unforgettable shots. If you prefer to relax, find a peaceful corner to sit and enjoy nature. Nearby, there is a bar/restaurant where you can grab a drink or eat lunch while admiring the lake view.
After this memorable experience, we will drive you back to your accommodation or meeting point in Tirana, Durres, Golem.
Please note that swimming in the lake itself is not permitted, as it is a protected area.
Important: The hike is around 2 km (1 km each way) and is easy, but some people may find it difficult because of hot summer weather or limited hiking experience. Please speak to the tour guide before the hike or if you have difficulty during it. We are always happy to help.
