POSTE-FRONTIÈRE DE QAFË THANË-KAFASAN

This border crossing (Vendkalimi Kufitar Qafë Thanë, Граничен Премин Ќафасан/Graničen Premin Kafasan) is the main crossing point between Albania and Northern Macedonia. It is not recommended to use it because Albanian customs officers here are overzealous. Some cases of theft and corruption were reported to us. To reach Ohrid, go through the border post near Pogradec, which is safer and allows you to visit the Saint-Naum monastery.
