TOP 5 Amazing Lakes in Albania

Lake Koman is one of the most beautiful places in Albania. It's just amazing!

How to get there? There are two ways how to get to Lake Koman: by bus as part of an excursion group or by renting a car. But notice that only one road leads to Lake Komani, the last 30 km of which is serpentine with a lot of damages and holes. So drive very slowly and for a long time. After the bridge, there are 2 km of perfect road and 1 km of a tunnel. You can leave your car in a large free parking lot in front of the tunnel because there are less than 10 parking spaces behind it.

Another option is a ferry ride to the city of Fierza and back. It will take about 2.5 hours through the Albanian fjords for 7€ per person. The only inconvinience is that the ferry only runs once a day. Departs from the pier on Lake Komani at 9:00 and returns back at 15:30.

Prices: An individual one-hour boat trip costs 40 € for two. There are a lot of boats, they ride tourists from 9:00-19:00. The best time to come is at 18:00 and see the lake in the sunset!
