Start your day meeting your guide in Shkoder, then set off on a scenic drive toward the mountains. Before the swimming and canyon air, you’ll make a short stop at the Venetian Masks Museum near Shkoder, an easy, fun visit that adds a splash of culture (and some great photos) to the day.
Next, it’s time for the main event: the Kiri River canyon. After a short walk over stones to reach the best spots, you’ll arrive at natural pools framed by rock formations and lush scenery. Spend the afternoon swimming, sunbathing, and soaking up the calm, with plenty of time to enjoy the water at your own pace. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can go for bolder dips and jumps! You’ll also stop at a natural waterfall, where you can cool down under the cascade.
On the way back to Shkoder, you'll stop at the Mesi Bridge, a beautifully preserved Ottoman-era landmark stretching across the Kiri River.
Expect a day that feels equal parts easy adventure and total reset, the kind you’ll still be smiling about on the ride back!

Hi! I’m Elsa, and I’ll be your guide for a day of crystal-clear water, canyon views, and a little local history sprinkled in!
I love showing guests the quiet swimming spots around Shkoder that you’d probably drive right past without a local. I keep the day relaxed, fun, and easy, with plenty of time to swim, take photos, and just enjoy being outdoors 😊
