ALBANIAN SHKODËR OR SHKODRA, CZECH ALSO ŠKODRA

Skadar is a town in the north of Albania, on Lake Skadar near the border with Montenegro, about 30 km from the sea coast.
It has approximately 112,000 inhabitants.
It is the 4th largest city in Albania.

Skadar is the center of the Catholic community in Albania. The largest Catholic church in Albania is located here - St. Stephen's Cathedralwhich has long been the biggest on Balkans.
To the west, the city limits Lake Skadarwhich is the largest on the Balkans. Skadar is situated at the confluence of the rivers Kiru, Drinu and Bojanawhich flows out of Lake Skadar and into the Adriatic Sea. All the rivers meet under the medieval castle Rozafa. The castle used to be a fortress, but today most of the buildings are in ruins. The area of the fortress is 9 hectares and from the height of 130m there is a beautiful view of the town, the lake and the two big rivers. Near the fortress is the oldest mosque, the so-called Lead Mosque from 18th century.

WHAT ARE THE GUESTS SAYING ABOUT US?

Vlasta

We were surprised by very friendly and relaxed people, you can speak English everywhere, you can eat well and cheaply. Shkodra is also a historical city of many cultures. It is a pleasure to discover both natural and cultural beauties. For us, a unique European exotic that is also within easy reach of both cars and planes. The new apartment is close to the center, great living and amenities. We appreciated the air conditioning in the summer. We will be back here again in a year. Northern and maybe all of Albania simply shatters all myths and prejudices.

Peter

Beautifully furnished apartment, which is also suitable for a family with children. Location in the city center. Ideal "base" for exploring northern Albania. Martin and Eva have lots of great tips for trips around the area.

Adela

Albania impressed me with its affordable prices of services and food. For example, I was in the gym, where the entrance for the whole day cost 60 CZK. The Albanians are very nice and helpful, you can speak English with them and most of all they want to talk. The most popular delicacy for me was fish and various vegetable salads. The best experience in the summer was swimming in a completely clean river that flowed right out of the mountains. And also visiting the majestic castle above Shkodra and the confluence of 2 big rivers.

Michal

Shkodar is an emerging city with bomb services and food. The proximity to the sights of the mountains and the sea is the reason I keep coming back.

Lucy

Shkodër is a very rich place for seafood, but you can enjoy it in every restaurant. The biggest lake is nearby, and the sea is also nearby, so the fish is always fresh and there is a great choice. The people are helpful, kind and always accommodating. The main square is filled with ancient cobblestones with lots of shops, restaurants (but also pizzerias) and fantastic pastry shops. Everything is close to the apartment and what more could you want? There are also mountains and other lakes nearby, it's impossible not to visit everything. Moreover, the prices are very low... You can afford this holiday.
