Day 1: Berat, Roshnik, Dardhe, and Sotira waterfall
- Meet your professional local driver in Berat early in the morning and set out for an unforgettable, scenic drive towards Roshnik.
Enjoy a 10-minute cafe break in Roshnik, a famous village with a rich history. The village is known as the origin of The Köprülü family, who provided six grand viziers to the Ottoman Empire, with several other members becoming high-ranking officers.
Resume picturesque drive towards Dardha, a 700-year-old village located in the heart of the Tomorr National Park. Today, the park is home to only five families, hospitable and far from modernity and subsist on farming.
At Dardha, meet a local guide who will lead you on a 2-hour trek to an amazing waterfall called Sotira. Originating from a cave, it is known as the most beautiful waterfall in Albania. Enjoy a picnic lunch near the waterfall and spend some time exploring the region's wealth of nature, caves, birds, and animals before trekking back to Dardha.
Enjoy the warmth of the campfire in Dardha, drink some Raki (optional), and stargaze until you fall asleep.
