Gjakova – Lake Koman – Kruja or Podgorica
If time permits, a short cultural moment in Gjakova, Kosovo. During the Ottoman period, the city served as a meeting place and exchange center on the Shkodra / Constantinople axis (Istanbul). Christianity has been present in the city since the Roman Empire, while Islam only arrived during the Ottoman period.
Visit of its historical center and the largest bazaar in the Balkans, Çarshia e Madhe. Despite partial destruction during the Kosovo war, the bazaar was rebuilt almost identically and contains nearly 500 shops.
Nearby is the Hadum Mosque, built in 1594. It is characterized by its architectural motifs and contains historical objects but also fountains and small mausoleums.
Further away are the churches of St. Paul and St. Peter, both part of the Cultural Heritage of Kosovo.
It will be time to join Fierze in Albania. Travel by ferry to Koman. This navigation of about 2h30 to 3h00 allows you to discover unique landscapes resulting from the erosion created by the Drin River in the Albanian Alps, it is simply an incredible experience.
Then the vehicle will continue its journey to Tirana. Depending on the time of day, a brief visit to the capital. Transfer to Podgorica for those arrived from Montenegro and free visit.
Dinner and overnight at the hotel. Optionally, possible diner in a panoramic restaurant on mount Dajti for groups arriving and departing from Tirana (See note 2)
