Asked about April
When does the Koman ferry start running?
15 April, then daily until 5 November. Berisha leaves Koman at 09:00 and Fierzë at 13:00. EUR 9 booked online, EUR 10 or 1,000 lek in cash at the port.
Can you hike Valbonë to Theth in April?
Not reliably. Snow lingers on the 1,795 m pass well past the road reopening. The crossing is a June to September proposition.
Is April warm enough for the beach?
The air is, at about 19°C, but the sea is at 16°C. April is a walking and driving month on the coast, not a swimming one.
How crowded is Albania in April?
Low. The Riviera has not started, the Alps have barely started, and the UNESCO towns are at their most pleasant.
How do I get from Shkodër to Theth?
The Koman ferry company's shuttle leaves Hotel Rozafa at 07:30 and 14:00 and takes about two hours; its page publishes no fare. The public furgon costs 1,200 lek and takes about two and a half hours on the paved road.
