Why visit the lake in Shkoder Albania?

Join Rose and Will as they take you on a breathtaking journey through Shkodra Lake in Albania, one of the country’s most peaceful and scenic destinations. Located just across the Buna River from the historic city of Shkodra, the village of Shiroka offers visitors a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural charm. A few kilometers further west lies Zogaj, a smaller but equally captivating village. Both are part of the Administrative Zone No. 1 of Shkodra and are considered neighborhoods within the municipality, connected by the SH24 national road along the lake’s edge.

Shiroka and Zogaj have become increasingly popular vacation spots in northern Albania, perfect for travelers seeking relaxation and authentic local experiences. Visitors can enjoy lakeside restaurants, family-run accommodations, swimming in the clear waters, or hiking in the surrounding mountains. These peaceful villages offer a slower pace of life and a strong connection to nature, making them a top choice for weekend getaways or quiet retreats.

Tourism in Shiroka and Zogaj has grown steadily since the 2010s, thanks to the area’s stunning lake views and rich traditions. Fishing remains a major part of the local economy, while the handcrafted carpets made by local women reflect a deep-rooted Albanian cultural heritage. Whether you’re looking to unwind, explore, or immerse yourself in local crafts, Shkodra Lake offers something special for every traveler.
