Rules

We emphasize that transportation has an extra cost, and isn't covered by us. Many people who come from the city of Shkodra, and use the ferry or ship, stop at the "Kodra e Markajve" station, and from there continue the visit on foot to our guesthouse. I suggest you use MAPS.ME: Offline maps GPS Nav, where you should download the map of Albania, and there you will find all the paths that will guide you to come to us.
