Komani Lake & the Albanian Alps

The “Thailand of Albania” — a fjord-like ferry ride through the Alps to the turquoise Shala River.

Often called the “Thailand of Albania,” Komani Lake winds through steep, fjord-like canyons in the heart of the Albanian Alps. A ferry glides between towering cliffs to reach the turquoise Shala River, where crystal-clear water and pebble beaches feel a world away from everywhere.

This is Albania’s wild north at its most dramatic — remote, pristine, and genuinely breathtaking.
