LAST SECRET OF EUROPE
SHKODER - ALBANIA
Shkoder on Bojana, one of the oldest cities in the southern part of Europe is surrounded by Shkoder Lake, and Bojana and Drim rivers. The symbol of the town is a combination of three different religious monuments situated at the very heart of Shkoder: an orthodox church, a cathedral, and a mosque. They are symbols of hope, faith, and reconciliation. Discover the history of The Rozafa Citadel that has dominated the city and defied time for more than 2000 years. Rozafa was built on the mount above Buna, Bojana, Drim and Kiri junction. Rozafa Citadel has 7 towers, a surface area of 6 hectares and a magnificent view from the top. The archaeology and Ethnography Museum is a proof of the rich history and culture of this area.
- The trip starts at 7 am from the main bus station in Herceg Novi. The journey continues by ferry and goes on through Tivat and the beautiful Budva Riviera. Our first 20-minute breakfast break will be taken just above the famous town-hotel peninsula St.Stefan, so that you can take some excellent photos of the famous spot.
- Around 10:40 am you will reach Sukobin, the border crossing between Montenegro and Albania, where a local guide will be waiting to join us. On the way to Shkoder, you will enjoy Drim river sightseeing.
- Upon arrival, you will have a guided city tour at city center where 3 different religions are so closely bonded – in a circle of 200m a church, a cathedral and, a mosque will arise before you.
- After visiting the city center we will go for a visit of the Rozafa Citadel, one of the most significant monuments in Albania.
- Our next matter of interest is the Archaeology and Ethnography Museum and after that, a lunch in a local restaurant.
- After the lunch break, around 2:30 pm, we depart from Shkoder and approach Bozaj border crossing. Shkoder Lake sightseeing will broaden and enrich your mind. After the border crossing, Montenegro will open before your eyes – Cemovo field with the biggest vineyard in this part of Europe, with more than 2200 hectares of grape vine. It is mostly the red sort of wine – Vranac, vastly cultivated in Montenegro.
- On the way back, we will have a one-hour shopping break in Delta City Mall, in the capital of Montenegro – Podgorica, as well as a 20-minute break to visit the new church, the Temple of the Resurrection of Christ.
