Travel and transport agencies North

This Albanian agency based in Shkodra offers excursions to the Albanian Alps and Lake Koman. It organizes accommodation, activities (such as cooking classes) and transport for individuals and groups in Albania and to neighboring countries. Very practical for the Theth, Valbona and Koman areas. We particularly recommend it for its horse riding, itineraries and stops at farms and wineries in the Shkodra region. Prices on request.

Crossing Lake Koman is a must. Two boats operate between Fierza and Koman. The small ferry Berisha operates from mid-April to early November and can carry 8-10 vehicles. It leaves Koman at 9 a.m. and arrives in Fierza at 11.30 a.m., leaving again at 1 p.m. to arrive in Koman at 3.30 p.m. The Dragobia (passengers and bicycles) operates all year round. It leaves Fierza at 6am and arrives in Koman at 8:45am, then leaves again at 9am to arrive in Fierza at 12pm. When the level of the lake is too low, the ships no longer leave. The company also offers excursions around the lake.

Located on the shores of Lake Shkodra, this border post (Vendkalimi Kufitar Hani i Hotit, Granični Prijelaz Božaj) is the main crossing point between Albania and Montenegro. From here, you can quickly reach Podgorica, the Montenegrin capital, 23 km to the northwest. But waiting at customs can take 1h30 in summer. Less busy, the Muriqan-Sukobin border post (16 km south-west of Shkodra) provides access to the coastal towns of Ulcinj and Bar.

Open to vehicles since 2021, this border crossing (Pika Kufitare Krushevë-Shishtavec, Granični Prelaz Kruševo-Šištavec) provides direct access from Shishtavec to the superb Gora region at the southern tip of Kosovo. Previously, you had to make a 68 km detour via the Vermica-Morina post (between Kukës and Prizren), then Dragaš. Alternatively, there is a pedestrian border crossing between Borja and Globočica/Glloboçica.

This border post (Vendkalimi Kufitar Vërmicë-Morinë, Granični Prelaz Vrbnica-Morina) is the most important crossing point between Albania and Kosovo, at the junction of the A 1 (Albania) and R 7 (Kosovo) freeways. It provides quick access to the beautiful town of Prizren (17 km to the northeast), the remote Gora region (27 km to the southeast) and the Šar Mountains National Park. Pristina lies 95 km to the northeast. Controls are generally rapid.

Reopened in 2003, this crossing point with Montenegro (Vendkalimi kufitar Vermosh-Guci in Albanian, Granični Prijelaz Grnčar in Montenegrin) has enabled the Vermosh valley to develop thanks to hikers and tourists coming from the Prokletije National Park (166 ^km2), just across the border. The valley is 12 km from the Montenegrin village of Vusanje, from where Theth can be reached via a well-marked trail in the Peaks of the Balkans network.

This station (Stacioni i Autobusëve) is a kind of informal bus station in Shkodra, but Democracy Square is not the only station in town. From here, you can travel to Tirana (one departure every 30 minutes), Durrës (2 per day) and Vlora (1 per day). From Ura-e-Maxharrit square, departures to Theth (at 7 a.m.), Valbona (with ferry, at 6.30 a.m.) and Vermosh (at 7.30 a.m.). From Nënë-Tereza square, departures to Montenegro (to Ulcinj/Ulqin, 3 per day) and Austria (to Vienna via Kotor, Dubrovnik, etc.; 1 per day).

Kukës Zayed International Airport (Aeroporti Ndërkombëtar i Kukësit Zayed), also known as "Northern Wings" (Flatrat e Veriut), has been in operation since 2022. Mainly used by the Albanian diaspora, it is linked to Italy, but Wizz Air has suspended the service to Basel-Mulhouse. Inaugurated in 2018, it remained inactive for four years due to competition from Tirana and Pristina (Kosovo) airports. It was financed by the United Arab Emirates and named in honor of former Emirati president Zayed ben Sultan Al Nahyane (1918-2004).
