travel to your chosen points of interest respectively. Korçë as well as Pogradec offer various opportunities for accomodations
within a very wide price range – with lake panorama in one and rustic
traditional atmosphere in the other. If you prefer a secluded and an
uncomplicated but nonetheless naturally romantic location, the village
of Lin at Lake Ohrid
may be your spot. Said village is also the first village you pass upon
entering the Albanian side of the destination around Lake Ohrid. The city of Korçë, pronounced “K’ortsch”
is one we strongly recommend for a thorough stay, to gain a broader
understanding of the variety of Albania’s society and to indulge in
traditional inland cuisine. Located at a trading crossroads and easily
reachable from the East, Korçë has always been a multi cultural

symbol of Albanian education when the first Albanian school was founded
here, while Ottomans were still ruling entire Albania. Due to its
diverse influence, this destination also offers a bright palette of
architectural styles from medieval to modern in houses, places,
monuments and parks.

Family trips to the latter crowd its beaches in summer, as well, while autumn enchants with its lovely colours.

view of vastness. Even in the cold season you needn't hesitate to
